IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

As I shared earlier this week, in Reader’s Workshop we have been talking about different perspectives of characters.  We have been reading Henry’s Freedom Box and Abe’s Honest Words.  Both of these books have the topic of slavery.  So this week we have been having a lot of rich conversations about perspectives of people during the time frame of the Civil War.   What were their feelings when it relates to slavery and how they treated people that were different.  I can’t even begin to tell you about how amazing their conversation was, but I will leave you with the quote of the day from Ruth: “I’m glad that slavery is gone because there are some really great people in this class that wouldn’t be here if it was still around.”
