Children's Story
BOOKS
Luke and I drafted and story boarded our own children's book about human migration, titled "We'll get there." We created four characters that demonstrate the trait of courage by leaving their home to travel to a new country. Their journey begins in Pakistan, and they travel to america throughout the book. Their main conflict is the Taliban making it so their kid can't go to school, and they solve it by starting a new life in America. I used the literary devices of personification and metaphor for my target audience, 1st-3rd grade.
Long Term Learning Target: I can use multiple literary devices to publish a children's story portraying human migration. These assignments connect to our standard that "Connects geography, culture, economics, technology to show global interconnectedness."
Reflection Questions
1. What do you know now that you didn't before you started your project? Human migration is a lot more complicated than just moving, our characters have to travel and sneak all across Europe and Asia to get to America.
2. What did you learn about human migration and why people move? People can move for many reasons, war, climate change, discrimination, and it isn't always a direct migration. sometimes people go to France to get to Norway, to Turkey to get to America, etc.
3. What would you add to your project that you didn't have time for? An info page at the back of the book, and a prologue.
4. What proof do you have that you met our learning targets?
