I'm supposed to do a Mini Chapter Presentation for Chapter 4.
I need to include a piece of research to explain historical/political/cultural information but I need some suggestions to research on.
Also I need to pose an important/controversial/intelligent/pertinent question for discussion. Help/Suggestions please?
Thanks for your help^^

This is a good starting place to decide what to research for, but it cannot be your research itself.
1. Read through the Context section to get an idea of the historical, political, and cultural background of this novel.
2. Read through the character analysis section -- and concentrate on Atticus.
3. Read through the section on Study Questions and Essay Topics. You should find ideas for good discussion questions there -- or something there will trigger another good question or two in your own mind.
Remember that Sparknotes is just a tool to give you a bit of direction. You'll need to do real researching in your school/college library, via a good search engine*, and/or via your library's database subscriptions.

To find a piece of research for your mini chapter presentation, you can start by reading the Context section of the SparkNotes page for the novel you are studying. This section will provide you with historical, political, and cultural background information related to the novel.
After that, you can focus on the character analysis section, particularly the analysis of Atticus, to find specific points or events in the novel that have historical, political, or cultural significance. This can help you identify areas where you can conduct further research to support your presentation.
Additionally, you can explore the Study Questions and Essay Topics section of the SparkNotes page. This section often includes discussion questions that can serve as a starting point for your own question. It may also suggest potential research topics that you can use to find relevant information.
However, keep in mind that SparkNotes should only be used as a starting point. You should also conduct independent research using credible sources such as your school or college library, search engines, and library database subscriptions. These resources can provide you with more in-depth and reliable information to support your presentation.

Remember, the goal of your mini chapter presentation is to present a piece of research that explains historical, political, or cultural information related to the novel. It would also be beneficial to pose an important, controversial, intelligent, or pertinent question for discussion during your presentation to engage your audience and encourage critical thinking.
