The title of my book is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. It is a Newberry Honor Book. I enjoy reading this to my 4th grade students, because it gives them a chance to use their creative strengths when they identify with the situation Bryan the main character, is placed in, when he is forced to survive alone after a plane crash. Also the students identify with divorce in the family.
The main topics that arise in this book are survival and how to deal with divorce, being positive in negative situations. Some guiding questions to discuss for this book would be; What would you do if you were stranded and alone?, How would you handle a secret that you feel should be told?, Do you think you would remember anything you have learned in Science and Soc. Studies about survival tactics? Some extension activities that I have done with my students are writing about a time you were alone and had to take care of yourself. Comparing the book to previous ones we have read and discussing the likes and dislikes of each. We’ve created paper characters and added their traits and what caused them to develop these traits.
