E.L.A

In ela we are reading a novel called Under Ground To Canada. We just read Chapter three and we learned some new words they are Quaker:a religious group also known as the society of friends.Amble:walking casually.Plod:walking heavily.Gourd:hard shell cup.Abolitionist:people who don't believe in slaver

This chapter was about:The slaves going to a different plantation.On there way they met a man named Mr. Fox and another little black boy.Jullily the 12 year old girl asked if the little boy was Mr.Fox's slave the boy said no i am free he pays me. Mr.Fox was an abolitionist.The boy and Mr.fox chopped wood all day long .When the slaves stopped the little boy gave them a drink of water from the drinking gourd.
