Pogroms

Hello Readers,


We just found out that Rache's g-g-g grandparents died in what was called a pogrom. From what you read, and from looking at this wikipedia link, tell me some important things you learned about pogroms.

Predicting

Hi Readers,

Rache was just about to hear the story from her Nana Sashie about how Rache's great-great-great grandparents were murdered by soldiers.  What do you think the story will entail and what do you think Rache will learn about the history of her family?  How do you think Rache will react to this new information?  I'm looking for really good thinking in paragraph form!

Thanks,
Mrs. Springston
