Today we will be reading chapter 3 and answering some study questions.
Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the Finch household?
What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behaviour during lunch suggest about his home life?
What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter?
Does Scout learn anything from Walter's visit? What do you think this is?
Atticus says that you never really understand a person “until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn? (In the last chapter of the novel, Scout repeats this, but she changes “skin” to “shoes” - this is probably not a mistake: Harper Lee suggests that Scout cannot clearly recall exactly what Atticus said and when, but the reader can check this!)
What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells?
HOMEWORK: Read chapter 4 and keep a reading journal.
Starting with chapter 4, students will keep a reading that will include the following:
1) A brief description of what happens in the chapter
2) One literary element - and what larger meaning it might include
3) List of characters
4) Part of plot
