In the book, the young girl takes a kind of journey through various locations in Africville. Even though students may have never been to Africville before, have them draw a pretend map that traces her path through all the places she visits and the things she observes in each place. Students can use all the clues in the story to draw the most accurate and detailed map they can. When they are finished, students can read through the story and trace their finger along the map.
