Mapping the Journey

• There is history associated with every place and person in the world. Just as important as it is to make history, it is important to document it to ensure that it is never forgotten. Think about the different locations that the characters visited in the novel. Create a map tracing the characters’ movements from each place they visited. Add important events from the book that happened there and then research more information on that area to expand your knowledge.
  
  Note: The characters, their stories, and the village of Sainte-Régine are fictional, but they represent similar experiences and villages around the time and in the area. Make sure you can differentiate between the information you find in the book and that of which you research on your own to separate fact from fiction. In place of Sainte-Régine for example, you can find a real French village and find out more about it instead!
  
  • What you will need: Paper, writing utensils (i.e. pen, pencil, crayons, and/or markers), (Optional): Other books or a device with internet access to research further.
  • What you will be doing: Take a piece of paper and draw out a basic map of the world. Printing one works, too. Mark the general area of each location visited in the book with a dot and the name of the site. Then, write information that you learned about each place from the book in the margins or on a separate piece of paper. Further your knowledge by looking for more information on each location. Feel free to create a timeline to document historical events with their specific dates of occurrence.
