Walk Two Moons
Walk Two Moons
In Language Arts we have begun reading the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. This is an amazingly crafted novel in which three stories weave together showing the growth of characters and the impact they have on each other's lives. Each day we will be discussing excerpts for character, setting, and theme. The novel addresses the themes of Dealing with Loss, Dealing with Fear, Empathy, and Nature as a Source of Comfort. We will read this novel over the course of four weeks with a quiz and assignment at the end of each week and a final project when we have finished the book.
