Learning activity for the book:
Science Integration: ( This project will take a few weeks to complete.) Students will read this graphic novel and discuss the earthquake that Riana’s family experienced. They will then conduct research on that exact earthquake and others to research the causes and effects of earthquakes. Students will then compare the earthquake in the book, to that of what they researched to to see if the earthquake was depicted accurately.
Students will work in groups to create an IMovie to explain and present their findings. Students will work independently on the research and with peers to create their IMovies. At the completion of the project, students will fill out a Strengths/Needs Google Form assessment for their overall learning- research, and teamwork skills with the project.
Learning Goal: Students will be able to create an IMovie on the causes and effects of earthquakes like the ones read about in Smile.
Learning Objective:
-
Learners will compare information learned about in Smile, to that of information learned through research to see if the book depicted the earthquake accurately by responding in their graphic organizer (Cognitive).
-
Learners will "Learners will work in groups to synthesize information about earthquakes to create an iMovie"s (Psychomotor).
