To Kill a Mockingbird chapter 3

PLT work: Vocabulary chapters 4-10 due Wednesday (on Canvas)

Review of chapter 2 main points:

School is a broken system where a student like Scout, who learned to read with Atticus and write with Calpurnia, is punished. Poorer children with less opportunities for literacy repeatedly fail school and are held back each year, falling further and further behind. Teachers and students do not understand each other. Everyone loses, and society sees the consequences.

Lunch shows a hierarchy of the working upper class, middle class, and farmers. 

Follow along as we read chapter 3 (22:39).

Think: According to the novel, why is it a "sin" to kill a mockingbird? Who might already be considered a "mockingbird" character?
