Activity Overview

Refugee weaves together three poignant and gripping stories. In this activity, students can capture the narrative arc of novel in a storyboard. For each cell, have students create a scene that follows the story in sequence using: Title, Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Resolution. Because there are three stories, teachers may choose for students to do a plot diagram for all three stories or for just one, like the example in this activity.
