Welcome to Workshop 3! I can hardly believe that we have already completed 2 workshops this year. Congratulations! (you deserve it) Every single one of you has worked hard to accomplish the goal of finishing 2 workshops. Now, on to the next subject...Long Journey To Justice will teach us about South Africa. South Africa is a country on the African Continent, it is all the way across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States. I look forward to learning about the rich history of this country with you. Our big focus with this unit will be on 'Story Elements'. Good Luck!
