English 8 students finished up working on the third part of the very challenging Frederick Douglass text. As students worked, I conferenced with pairs looking at two sentences in particular:

• With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read.
• I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome;
