River Illustration
For this assignment, you will need
to plot out all the major story points
for
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
.
You
will indicate points on the map of the Mississippi River, and write a brief description of the event on a separate sheet of paper.
You
will need to figure out
where
the events take place along the river. Use the novel to find out the names of the towns or areas where different events
happened.
This
map is a map from the Mark Twain library, and is accurate to the late 1840’s. It is what Twain used when writing the novel. Slide3
This needs to be done by each person, but you may work with
your table groups collaboratively (not divide and conquer style!).
I will be collecting the
map and write-up in
a homework
