[MOSAIC] "Hatchet"

[Diane Baker]

I would sell the survival theme of the book. I have found that my 5th graders love reading this book because they can connect to Brian - he is about their age, and many students are from split families where the parents are fighting. To begin, I have my students imagine having to survive on an island all alone and make predictions about what the main character will have to do to survive.If you look online there is a website with a lot of lesson plans on this book. I believe it is teachervision.com...if is not there - google the title and there should be ample suggestions and ideas...

Hi All,
Sorry about changing the topic, but I'm starting an "emergency" unit on the 
novel Hatchet.  Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, tips on how to 
incorporate this novel into a workshop approach?  I have the lit. guide but  this
is last minute.  I'm starting tomorrow.  My class is very low and  full of
reluctant readers.  All suggestions are appreciated.
Michele
