Activity Overview

There are many themes, symbols, and motifs present throughout the novel Refugee. Students can explore them by identifying a few and creating images and captions depicting examples from the text. Students can explore this by identifying a theme, symbol or motif themselves or, in an “envelope activity”, being given one or more to track throughout their reading. Then in this activity, students can create a storyboard illustrating the examples of that theme from the text.
