Black Boy
During the school year, we had to listen to the audio book called Black Boy. In this biography the author, Richard Wright, talks about his life and his troubles becoming the great author he is known to be. While listening to Black Boy, we had to take note of references that set the historic tone, as well as creating two column notes for our project. We also had to create a map of all the places Richard lived. The projects can be found on the left by clicking the buttons.
