Monkey Beach
Every book has at least three things to teach you. For this project, you will be tackling a very special book, and exploring the lessons it holds.
Monkey Beach is set in BC. It was written by Eden Robinson, an indigenous writer member of the Haisla and Heiltsuk nations. It shows the impact that pain and grief can have in the lives of people, and how trauma can affect many generations.

Questions to think about...
Your project
After you read this book, choose three lessons that you have learned from it (or three lessons you already knew about, but that you agree with).
Type these three lessons on a Word document. You can also choose any other way to display your thoughts on the book -- a Powerpoint presentation, a series of drawings, a set of paragraphs, an oral presentation, etc.
The main thing is, show your thought process.

Just be careful not to fall asleep!
