Students will look words up on Ipad on Monday.  We will also begin Literature Circles.  There will be 5 groups of students.  Each will have a different book.  Each student will be assigned a task.  When they have completed the tasks, they will present the information to the other groups.  All 5 books have the same theme- Slave Quilts.
