“Hatchet” By Gary Paulsen
Survival Guide Project You will be going to visit a friend in the Canadian wilderness. The only way to get to your friend is by plane. Since you have read Hatchet, you know that there is a slight chance that you could be involved in a plane crash. You will need to plan ahead in-case this happens. You will need to take with you a waterproof backpack containing no more than 10 essential items for survival and cannot weigh more than 10 lbs. One of the items in your backpack must be a survival manual that you create. Assume that you will not be able to retrieve your suitcases and you will only have the clothes on your back, the backpack, and survival manual. Research the following links to find out what you should wear, put in your backpack, and include in your manual. Check out the Survival Guide Project link to see specifications needed in your manual. Also look at the scoring guide to see how you will be graded.
