Today we finished reading John Brown and students did an excellent job finding the details that we needed for our notes.  They then worked with a partner to find evidence in another short text about John Brown and they organized that information into an outline.  Then students used that information to answer the focus question.

After students completed that activity, we read from Gathering Blue.  We focused on our central idea so we could identify the differences about the new and very different setting.
