Augusta Adult and Community Education

This English course will cover Linda Sue Park's novel, A Long Walk to Water. We will find ourselves reading about the lives of two individuals, bound by geography and history, yet separated by time. The themes are shown through the journeys of Nya, a young girl fetching water in war-torn Sudan, and Salva, a boy displaced by conflict. Through discussions, essays, and creative projects, students will see the difficulties of survival and how storytelling can shape our understanding of the world. Academic Students only.
