“A Map of the Journey”
In this activity, students work in groups to build a map of Max and Rachel’s cross-country journey.
Working in a small group, create a map of Max and Rachel’s cross-country journey. You may use large craft paper, a whiteboard, or a projection system and begin with a large map of the United States as a foundation. The story begins near Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and ends in the mountains of southwestern Montana, not far from the city of Butte.
Teaching Suggestion: Note that, in the first novel about Max, Freak the Mighty, Max’s hometown is a version of Portsmouth, New Hampshire; thus, his and Rachel’s journey should begin roughly at that point.
