Responding to Underground to Canada 2

When reading chapters 4 and 5, we came across a few places where we had to stop to ask questions.  First of all, Julilly and the other children in the wagon were given a hoecake.  This isn't something we had ever heard of!  We looked it up and found out that it is sort of like a pancake but made of cornmeal, salt, and water.

Eventually, Julilly and the children arrived in Mississippi.  The driver of the wagon talked about how they had finally arrived.  We wondered how many days they have been travelling.  We google-mapped how far it is from Virginia to Mississippi, and we found out that it would take 262 hours to walk that far!  That means that the men have been walking that entire time chained to the back of the wagon!

Now, you try!  As you read, mark at least 5 places where you had to look up more information about something you read.  Highlight those places in your own blog post!
