Survival GuideProject - Hatchet
As Brian struggled to survive in the Canadian wilderness, he had to rely upon survival information he remembered from television and reading. Using researched information about the Canadian wilderness and about Brian’s own survival, create a survival guide for kids who may find themselves lost in the woods.
Your will be provided with a file folder to compile your research and create your guide. Divide the inside of your folder and label each section using the example below:
What to Expect/ Food
Water
/ Shelter
Tape 2 or more notecards in each section. On your notecards provide at least fourcorresponding ideas/tips that would help someone survive in conditions similar to Brian’s. Ideas/tips should be paraphrased, can include descriptions and/or pictures, and may be written in bullet point form.
On the cover of your folder, create a cover that includes a title, your name, and class period.
On the back of your folder, document your sources using the provided handout (glue or tape to the back of your folder.) You must use and document at least two sources.
