Tools for this Unit:

Class activity

Elegiac episodes

Students will create an oral poem that narrates an episode from their family history that they have either lived or heard about that is in danger of being forgotten. 76 Students' oral poems will be recorded as digital video. Students will generate a QR code for their digital performance. This code will be printed and mounted to the display label for their completed map art project. Viewers of the art works may use mobile device technology to access the students' oral poetry as a performance layer of presentation of their travel stories.
