Survival! A Lesson for Language Arts and Novice ESL Students

Students brainstorm to orally identify and agree upon ten elements necessary for survival. Students will create a categorized chart of the items necessary for survival. Using the chart and working within groups, students will use the chart to create a Survival board game. This lesson serves well as an introductory activity for students who will read a novel with a setting in another country or culture, or as the basis of comparing two different time periods or cultures. It is modified for the Novice High English Language Learner. By Cynthia Moretz.
