Read With Us!

Both 7th & 8th Grade Language Arts are currently reading the novel, A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park. In addition, we will also be reading non-fiction including an article from the Washington Post about the history of the conflicts in Sudan.The 6th Grade will also do this inquiry unit during 4th quarter. 

Park's novel is two narratives told in different decades about life in South Sudan. By juxtaposing the characters, Park is able to give a more complete account of two children growing up in a war torn region of the country.

Our I.B. Line of Inquiry is: Reading a variety of genres about the same topic builds our understanding of the human condition. 
The global context for this work is: Fairness & Development - what are the consequences of our common humanity?

Wouldn't it be great if all of us read the same book - students & adults alike? What would our conversations be about? What would it be like if all of us had a shared experience and knowledge about one topic? Pick up a copy of the book at your local library, and join us!
