The students read the story Meeting Mr. Henry as a class.  The story was about a boy named Jason who was cut from his baseball team for daydreaming during the game.  Jason was so upset that he went into the school and talked to the janitor Mr. Henry.  While inside Mr. Henry talked to Jason about famous baseball players from the Negro League.
    I divided the class into groups and gave them a team Mr. Henry told Jason about.  They made posters displaying their research.
