iThrive Curriculum: Sam's Journey is a three-lesson curriculum unit that pairs with Accidental Queens' award-winning video game, A Normal Lost Phone, to take 11th and 12th grade students through an interactive social and emotional learning experience in their English or humanities classrooms. In the game, students investigate the contents of a lost smartphone belonging to Sam, uncovering Sam's story as they reflect deeply on their own. The unit supports teens in examining and reflecting on how identity is expressed publicly and privately, especially in an increasingly digitized world. Sam's Journey is aligned with national ELA standards and field tested with students and educators.
