Activity Overview
As they read through the little prince’s adventures, students should keep track of the various characters he meets and planets he visits. In this activity, students will use a character map to keep track of each character and the lessons they teach. This information can be presented in two ways, focusing either on the various characters or on the seven different planets the little prince visits.
The example storyboard, instructions, template, and rubric in this activity are tailored for the characters, but you can easily alter the assignment. In addition, students should be encouraged to complete their storyboard in French.
