This learning resource is designed for students to engage with historical events through a creative project based on the 'I Survived' book series. The objective is for students to analyze historical contexts and narrative structures, and synthesize their findings into a graphic novel format using Google Slides. The project spans three days, allowing students to select a specific survival story related to significant historical events, conduct research, identify key plot elements, and ultimately create a 10-slide graphic novel. The outlined roadmap helps students to focus on story selection, historical research, and narrative development, promoting a deep understanding of both the facts and storytelling techniques. They will explore various historical events, outline protagonist journeys, and utilize design principles to visually capture their narratives. A reflection component encourages students to articulate their creative choices and connect historical resilience with modern examples.
