Learning Activity #1:<\/span> <\/strong>Vocabulary was an essential aspect of this unit as the primary text used is a historical novel. Every Monday students would be given six vocabulary words related to our unit, they would complete and review vocabulary charts in groups, and on Fridays we would have a quiz. <\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, students explained their work in a short response paper. \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
