Announcements and Reminders:                            Today is our Fieldtrip to the cemetery.   Our class meets from 1:25 to 2:45.  Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a jacket if it looks like it might be chilly.   Forecast for Friday:

Targets for Today: Experience a graveyard in conjunction with reading The Graveyard Book.  Create gravestone rubbings. Connect to the book also by finding graves that might somewhat fit the description of a "ghoul gate."   Take photographs.

Today’s  Agenda: View a map of our route and then go!   Buddy system!   Remember to be respectful,  to stick with at least one buddy, and to  do at least one gravestone rubbing,  try to find a ghoul-gate and take a photo of it,  remember that this cemetery is not nearly as old -- by thousands of years -- as Bod's.   You could do more than one headstone rubbing on one sheet of paper.  Just DO NOT turn it over for a second rubbing.   Over 11,000 interments  Two famous people in the cemetery:   Bosone, Reva Zilpha    b.
