Description
This A Long Walk to Water, Body Biography Bundle is filled with all you need to teach and promote the amazing characters from the modern and relevant novel. Salva and Nya are the most requested character studies that I receive from teachers everywhere! Here it is! Your students will find plenty of opportunities for creativity. Teachers and students will experience the unique approach of using a collaborative poster, your A Long Walk to Water novel study, textual evidence, research, and the body biography project!
The project bundle includes 2 characters. Give your students a relevant and modern experience while promoting the 4 C’s and achievement. I adapted the body biography concept to align with citing textual evidence, character traits, research, and inference skills.
Includes 2 choices:
★ Each poster is a character from the author, Linda Sue Park’s novel. The original artwork is never seen anywhere!
★ Answer key included. I provide you with a completed example of both characters. In your own classroom, answers may vary.
★ Appealing to all grades. Line art for your students to add color and design.
★ Poster is 32 inches high by 10 inches wide. It requires 4 pages each.
★ Rubric and Reflection Questions
★ Bonus – characterization pre-planning sheets for each character!
★ Student handout that explains each part of the body biography project (there are 12 parts).
★ The teacher set up directions, learning objective / learning outcomes, background, tips, and CCSS.
