Survival Handbook
Survival is not fun and games. It is not a television show where eliminated players return home safe and sound. It is serious business which can have deadly consequences for people not properly prepared.
Language arts students recently read a novel with a survival theme. Students will identify the situation that the main character had to survive. Students will select and research five questions that would help a person survive in that particular situation. (For example, finding and preparing food, building shelter, locating and purifying water, building a fire, appropriate clothing, safety/first aid, safe travel and rescue).
Essential Question : How can the character(s) in your novel be better prepared to survive in the event of a emergency or disaster or if lost in the wildness? 
Students are expected to use both print and digital resources. Select library books have been put on reserve in the school library. Below are some digital resources students might find useful.
Students are required to cite the book and digital resources. Use the Standard Bibliograpy Form (purple paper) found in the library.
