About This Lesson
In 1890s Florida Augusta Savage enjoyed nothing more than playing with clay. With her mother’s support, Augusta’s sculpting talent blossomed as she grew into a woman. With only her passion to guide her, Augusta headed to New York City to follow her dream wherever it might take her. Award-winning author Alan Schroeder creates a compelling portrait of this unique Harlem Renaissance sculptor. The educator's guide from Lee & Low Books includes a book summary, background, discussion questions, vocabulary, reader-response and other writing prompts, ELL support, and interdisciplinary activities.
