Description

Class Experience

Ever wonder what would have happened to Brian Robeson after the events of the novel Hatchet?  In The River, author Gary Paulsen imagines one possible scenario.  How would Brian adjust to returning to human society after living in isolation in the wilderness for so long?  If offered the chance to do it all over again to try to help others, would he take the risk?  And what happens when the worst case scenario becomes reality for Brian once again?
This class will meet once a week for three...

This class is taught in English.

Students will be expected to complete chapter readings in advance of each class, as well as an optional written assignment.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

The main character deals with the experience and emotion of the circumstances surrounding his friend being injured and being stranded in the wilderness alone.
