Literature Final Project

Before Spring Break the class finished reading their novel A Long Walk to Water.  As a class they have been learning about different topics discussed in the book.  In response to his experiences, Salva started his project (Water for South Sudan) because there was not enough water.  The water they did find and use was contaminated.  He started small but with each step his dream was realized and now many villages enjoy fresh water without walking or worrying about contamination.  As a final response, each student is to find a cause that they feel strongly about or could support.  They will create a poster complete with title, logo, illustrations and descriptions about their project.  This could also be something they already do at home or in their youth groups.  Due Date: Monday, April 10
