In Class 3 we started our Survival topic by learning about Sir Ernest Shackleton’s adventure across Antarctica. We have been reading his book, Shackleton’s Journey along with a story version called, Ice Trap. In English lessons, we have created advertisements for crew members, written application letters to be a crew member, generated and answered questions using the text, and written beautiful descriptive pieces set in Antarctica. We have considered the crew’s thoughts, feelings and what they may have said, and we’ve written diary entries about the adventure so far!
