Hello Readers,
Imagine that you ended up in the wilderness alone and you have no way of getting back home. Think about some of the things Sam has done to survive, and things he hasn't done yet that you would do.
Write a paragraph telling what YOU would do to survive in the wild.
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston

I Learn to Season my Food
Dear Readers,
1) Why does Sam think the weasel is brave?
2) Sam tells the reader he was "too frightened to move" when the weasel burst out of the trap. How do you think you would have reacted in a similar situation and WHY?
3) Are you enjoying the book so far? Why or why not...and give examples from the text about why you do or don't like the book.
Thanks,
Mrs. Springston
