Activity Overview


There are many themes present throughout the novel Amina's Voice. In this activity, students will identify themes and illustrate examples from the text. Students can explore by identifying these elements themselves or in an “envelope activity”, where they are given one or more to track throughout their reading. Then, they'll create a spider map illustrating what they found!

  • Anti-Muslim Bigotry
