Code Talker


Hello! Welcome to Megan, Courtney, Julie, Chris, and Ryan's website. We are in Ms. Simonett's seventh grade language arts class, and we are reading the book Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac. This book is about a young Navajo boy that is forced to go to a camp to learn English, and forget his Navajo way. His name is Kii Yahzi. But we know him by his English given name, Ned Begay. He passes high school, and hears that the navy is in need of Navajos. He is determined to help, so he signs up being a year too young. He gets in and breezes through boot camp where he is sent on a top secret task, one that only Navajos can do. They are the code talkers. We are going to tell you our summary, opinions, questions, and a little bit about the author. If you would like to contact our teacher her e-mail is: asimonett@bloomington.k12.mn.us
