The 6th grade read Scout's Honor which was about three New York boys setting off on a camping trip with zero experience and not a lot of camping gear. I made stations to accompany the story. Here are a few pictures...



This group needs to discuss and compromise on bringing only two resources with them into the wilderness to survive. After they decide, they had to write a reasoning to support their choice. 

This group had a tub of materials and their job was to build a shelter they could use for when they are in the wilderness. 

In our story Scout's Honor the boys had to use a compass and use a map to find their camping spot. So, these kids are coordinating cities to go along with the story. 

I made a game with comprehension questions and literary terms mixed with a few camping accidents. Some of the spaces they had to answer questions, some of the other squares they might have been attacked by a bear and had to go back to start. 

This group had to pick a biome and read information about it online. Based off what they read regarding what food, plants, and landscape was found in their biome they had to write a mini story on how they would survive in that habitat and then they drew a picture of themselves roughing it. 

Our objective this unit is theme. I wrote the theme of Scout's Honor on posters and the groups had to graffiti it with symbols, pictures, and examples from the story that supported the theme.
