This term, students read from a selection of harrowing tales of survival. From ship wrecks, to great escapes, desert islands to the deep woods and the far north, the characters in each story were presented with different challenges, but each find ways to meet their basic needs while surviving under unfamiliar circumstances.
The students met weekly to discuss their novels, wrote in double entry journals and used the, “say something” strategy. They even learned about the most important survival skills to employ if lost in nature.
