Hatchet Novel Study

After re-assessing the content and reading level of The Giver, Division One will be switching gears to Hatchet as our Language Arts Novel Study in Term One - a book more suited for this grouping.  (Note: a few readers will continue with The Giver in their Independent Reading group, while all students are welcome to finish the book on their own if they wish.)

Hatchet is a terrific book set around a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness.  The main character struggles to survive, but in the process realizes a lot of positives about himself.  The book also connects to our theme in Science: Extreme Environments and Exploration.

Please find attached a PDF copy of the Novel Study that students will work through.
