A Long Walk to Water
<p> This collection is to be used in conjunction with the novel, <em>A Long Walk to Water <strong></strong><strong></strong></em>by Linda Sue Park. The lesson concept spans the total of three 55 minute class periods for a middle school ELA course. </p><p> Students will begin by completing a pre-reading activity where they will analyze the artwork, <em>Iceman </em><i>Crucified #4</i><i><em></em></i>through a "See, Think,Wonder" activity. Students will then discuss the overarching ideas or themes that they observed in the piece. This lesson will end with students making a prediction about the book, <em>A Long Walk to Water</em>, through previewing the cover/title and using information from the artwork to predict a possible theme of the story. </p><p> After reading chapters 1-4, students will then begin analyzing their predictions. They will also be introduced to a new piece of art, <em>The Girl I Left Behind, </em>to analyze in conjunction with another character in the book. Students will do a collaborative poem with the artwork. They will then work in pairs to analyze lines of text and draw similarities/differences between the character in the text and the girl in the painting. </p><p>#SAAMteach</p><p><i><em></em></i></p>
