Introduction
Recently, we have read a book in AP Language class titled Enrique's Journey. In this book, a young woman learns about the journey of a young boy to the United States from his home country, Honduras. This young man's name is Enrique. At a very young age, Enrique lost his mother because she left him to go to the United States. She was in search for better work so that she could give her children a better life. Years later, Enrique's family falls on hard times and he does not seem to fit in with his family anymore. He falls to a harsh life of drugs, so his family practically disowns him. Later on, he decides that he wants to leave his family in Honduras, so he decides that he will go to the United States in search of his mother. He makes several trips to the United States and time after time, he is caught by police and sent back to Honduras. In this assignment, you will be tasked with applying knowledge of the book and creating a quiz based on the journey of a refugee such as Enrique. The goal of this assignment is to allow students to better understand the dangers of a refugee's journey to the United States.
Task
Your task is to create an online quiz about the journey of a refugee. This quiz can be about either Enrique and his journey or another refugee's journey. The quiz itself can be a personality quiz, an informational quiz, or a quiz based on the decisions of a refugee on a journey. If you have any other ideas, please feel free to share them with me and I will decide if you may complete it or not. The quiz itself must be accurate to the information in the book and it should contain 5 to 10 questions. An example has been provided, but please feel free to be creative and not go solely based on the example. A few websites have been provided to aid you in creating this project.
