Maps and Memory

Migration narratives and the stories we carry across borders

50 minutes RL.6.1, RL.6.2, RL.6.6, W.6.3, SL.6.4
Learning Objectives

Students explore migration as both a physical journey and an emotional one. Through a short story about a family photograph — and the generations of loss and resilience it contains — and an informational excerpt about what migrants carry across borders, students examine how stories, objects, and memories become vessels for identity. This lesson asks: when you can only carry so much, what do you choose?
