Description

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind novel study is based on the young reader’s edition. This exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world.

When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land.

This novel study was created to be used in the secondary science classroom with a major focus on science vocabulary and reading comprehension.

  • No-prep, and extremely user-friendly, this novel study is perfect for the whole class, small group, or independent study. 

  • Perfect for distance learning. Both print and digital versions are available so students can access the digital version from home or school.

  • Excellent for school OR homeschool. No-prep and so easy for teachers, parents, and students to follow!
