Literacy History
Teri Le Sage designed this project to accompany her students’ study of “A LONG WAY GONE: MEMOIRS OF A BOY SOLDIER, Ishmael Beah tells his experience as a child soldier from Sierra Leone”, and Elie Wiesel’s memoir NIGHT, about “a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family.”
In the assignment, the students are asked “to develop some kind of “portrait” of yourself as a literate individual.”
