You will be using the online resources below to define the vocabulary word you've chosen and find a picture of the item.
Once your research is complete you will be creating a postcard in Publisher which will include the picture, definition/description and how it is connected to your book. (Tom Sawyer sample, Midwife's Apprentice sample)
One the back of the postcard you are to include a bibliography of the online and print materials you used in your research. Don't forget to include your name, English teacher, class period and the date.
