Discovering Gang Gang Sara (an original short story)

In this Learning Object, 12-year-old Janet, who is an orphan, travels to Trinidad and Tobago where her uncle tells her the legend of Gang Gang Sara. Gang Gang Sara is a figure from Caribbean legend who is said to have “blown from Africa” to Tobago in the 1700s. Gang Gang Sara’s story, like Janet’s, is about longing for home and a place to belong. Students make connections as they read. They later share a story that is important to them.
