Child Survival Stories: Hope To Cope

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students brainstorm a list of the various scenerios going on their family life at home. In groups, they read about different perspectives on survival and identify ones they could use in their own lives. They share their own experiences more in detail with a partner and summarize their partner's experiences. To end the lesson, they write a poem about how they want to live their lives and survive the situation they are in.
