“Reinventing Neverland”
In this activity, students recreate Neverland to reflect their own childhood imaginings.
Barrie, in Peter Pan, describes how each child’s imagined version of Neverland varies. The reader can infer that Barrie’s imaginings of Neverland could be very different than that of someone else. Draw from your personal experience and/or interests to design your own Neverland. Create a digital map and presentation to describe your Neverland to others. Then, compare your Neverland design to Barrie’s, identifying any similarities or differences. Use the questions below to guide your thinking:
Prepare and deliver your presentation to the class. Afterwards, describe in your notes or a reading journal how your Neverland compares to the one in Peter Pan.
Teaching Suggestion: Students may find it helpful to discuss ideas for their Neverland in small groups prior to independently designing. Students may require additional instruction on the number of slides that are expected in their presentation or how to utilize online tools to create a map.
