2.  They will be in the library writing down information on their Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire data collection sheet.
3.  We will be watching the documentary  Minuk, the Lost Eskimo and taking a short quiz on it.  The story of Minuk is about a "push" example of forced immigration to the United States.
