Closing Activity
In this unit we have learned about different characters who were faced with a challenge and became survivors. For the closing activity they will create a "Survival Kit."
Have students imagine a
difficult situation - such as being stranded in the wilderness.
Ask them if they think they would be able to survive.
Ask what it would take for them to be able to survive.
Introduce the concept of a "Survival Kit."
Students will gather a kit of ten items that they would hope to have in the
event of a catastrophe.
This can be done many ways - either by drawing or collecting the items.
Students should also describe ten traits that a person needs to have to be able to survive and record them on index cards.
Students should should use what they have learned from the book to help them create their survival kits.
