Under a Worn Torn Sky Google Map

A sixth grade Language Arts class was assigned the book Under a Worn Torn Sky to read during their Social Studies study of World War II.



The novel is about a young man who becomes a pilot during the war. His plane is shot down behind enemy lines and the story progresses as he attempts to escape back to his home.

The students worked together in groups of three to create a Google Map of the main character's journey. They placed markers on each of the cities Henry traveled through and wrote summaries of the events and people he encountered in each of the escape locations.
