ELA 7- Hatchet!

Hatchet- by Gary Paulsen

Hatchet is the coming age story of a teenage boy who finds himself lost, alone and clinging to life after the single engine cessna he was travelling on crashes in the Canadian Rockies. 

This novel explores the themes of survival and perseverance as we observe Brian Robeson, the main character, struggling to survive in the beautiful, yet challenging Rocky Mountain terrain. 

In ELA 7, we are preparing to read the story by discussing our personal connections to the themes, plotline, character and setting.

Tomorrow we will continue preparing to read the novel by familiarizing ourselves with the setting and the skills required to survive in the the wilderness. We will be be viewing Les Stroud, also known as 'Survivorman,' in his real-life documentary "Stranded."

Welcome Back!

Things are getting into full swing here at RHS. Students are busy learning about their new courses and teachers are busy planning lessons and activities! The SRC has planned some great 'welcome back' games to get us excited for the school year ahead. 

My courses are just starting to get under way. The only class with homework to report so far is for PAA9. They have to complete the 'signs of kitchen safety' activity by tomorrow!
