I Am David provides a wealth of teaching opportunities across the curriculum. Walden Media’s Educator’s Guide for I Am David is available for download here, and it features lesson plans aligned with national standards in English Language Arts, Social Studies, Visual Arts, and Character Education. The guides offer students valuable background information that provides a context for the film as well as activities that relate David’s story to issues relevant to students’ lives today.  

Also available is the I Am David Gameboard Activity for use with your students. This activity is specially adapted from educator materials produced by the United Nations High Commisssioner for Refugees.

Visit the other features on this web site to learn more about David’s journey and timeless story. The interactive map takes students along David’s physical journey while the profile of refugees in today’s world reminds us that there are many present day “Davids” who have had to flee their countries.
