Girl of the Limberlost

Today we start a unit on discovering what was great, not great, same, and different about Indiana in the time of Gene Stratton-Porter.  Here is a link to the Indiana State Park dedicated to her: http://www.indianamuseum.org/sites/gene.html.

Housekeeping Things to remember: 

1. There is a text version of The Girl of the Limberlost on your EVSC GOOGLE drive.
2. There is a Kindle for PC version that you can attach to your Amazon account.
3. Here are QR codes with links to go to Project Gutenberg's site on the book.  You can find all sorts of eBook formats, including  mp3/iTunes AUDIO versions where you can listen to the book instead of, or while, you read it. (Use your smart device with a free QR reader app to download the book or mp3 file.)

4. We need milk jugs, egg cartons, shoeboxes, and especially cardboard canisters (Quaker Oats or Morton Salt containers) to make Pinhole cameras and bird feeders.
