Maya Angelou's Early Life on a Map (15)
As a class, we will work collaboratively to identify where Maya was in each chapter of her early autobiography.
- You will be assigned a specific chapter from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Dig into that chapter and find details about where Marguerite is in that chapter.
- Click here to access our shared Google Map.
- You will need to drop a pin in the location where Marguerite was in the chapter you have been assigned. Research a specific location (i.e. location of a store, library or junkyard) instead of dropping the pin on a city or town in general.
- Label your pin with "Chapter #" and include your name. Then write 3-5 sentences about what happened to Marguerite in this location in the chapter you were assigned.
