Survivor Stories

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Trace a survivor's story using a timeline, map skills, poetry and/or prose and photography, and make a visual representation of a survivor's journey through his or her life as a culminating activity for the class and the survivor.  This activity is more about the representation of the experiences, though the skills used are very valid.
