Chapters 4 - 7
1. How does Atticus treat his children? Does he seem like a good father? Give several examples of how he disciplines, teaches, and deals with his children to support your opinion.

3. When the kids meet up with the group in front of the Radley's property, why does Jem show up without pants and how do they try and cover it up? What do Mr. Radley and Atticus actually know about what the kids were doing? Reflect on this scene and offer your interpretation.
4. What happened to Jem when he sneaked back onto the Radley property? What secret about that night did he later reveal to Scout?
5. Name at least 3 of the objects left in the hole of the tree by the Radley house. Who do you think left them?
