Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Storm at Point Sur" by Chitra Divakaruni.
In "Storm at Point Sur," the speaker meets with a lover as a storm brews on the coast.As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature, Love, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How are we changed by love?", "How do we view nature?", and "Why do people resist change?"
