Epic Journey To Antarctica








This past month we have been digging deeper into the epic journey the great leader Ernest Shackleton and ALL members of his crew survived. How did he do it? How did he keep their spirits up? How did he keep them alive? What does it mean to be a great leader? What can we learn from reading this amazing survival story?

 These are the two books we have been reading for closer understanding...

Both groups have been working to read these books independently or in partnerships. After each chapter they are answering comprehension questions that require thinking in and beyond the text,  finding evidence in the text to back their                                                                       thinking, and inferring the meaning of new words that they                                                                     come across.
