As a class, use the scenes and information from Africville to create a mural that features a panorama of the girl’s journey through Africville. To do this, divide the class into 8-12 small groups. Each group will be responsible for one of the scenes or places the girl visits in Africville. The mural can be completed using any available media or supplies (e.g. paper and paints or watercolor, a chalkboard drawing, a bulletin board scene, etc.) but should be big enough that all the groups can comfortably draw their scenes. Mark out the mural ahead of time, planning the amount of space each group will have, or provide separate large sheets of paper that will be joined together later. Encourage students to draw and map out their scenes on a regular sheet of paper ahead of time and to decide what each person in the group will do. In planning and creating their scenes, students may want to gather inspiration not only from the images in the story but also from available resources on the Internet or elsewhere.
