Lesson Plan

Comparing Historical and Fictional Accounts: Second Sudanese Civil War (Chapters 14 and 15, Plus Rereading “Time Trip”)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Let's compare! One pair of scholars adds to the Salva/Nya anchor chart by gathering evidence about the characters from chapters 14 and 15 of A Long Walk to Water. The rest of the class pairs work on adding to the Survival anchor chart. After the character chart group pair shares, they reread Time Trip: Sudan’s Civil War and make connections to Salva and Nya. They then use the Survival anchor chart to make connections between survival techniques in Time Trip: Sudan’s Civil War and A Long Walk to Water.
