The Road To Nowhere
A Humanities and Spanish collaboration, students wrote and published historical-fiction short-stories, In Spanish and English, from the perspective of a Latin-American immigrant. Working in groups, students researched their chosen country and explored why people leave their homeland, what they experience on their journey, and how they adapt to their new life in a foreign land.
The Road to Nowhere is available on LULU. |
