Ask students to pretend they are journalists and have been asked to write a newspaper story about a caravan traveling from El Salvador to Tijuana. Many parts of the book are in the first person and can serve as quotations a reporter might gather from interviews; students can also integrate what they’ve learned about the social impact of migration and the issues in El Salvador in particular. Like a real journalist, their objective is to write a story that somehow answers the five W’s: who, what, where, when, why and how this caravan is making the journey to Tijuana.
