In the novel Courage At Indian Deep by, Jane Resh Thomas, Cass feels very upset about moving. One example that shows that Cass is upset is that, Cass kept on talking to his mom about all the bad things that had happened since they had moved to, The North Shore and didn't happen when they were in Mineapolis. for example he was gettin bullyed in his new school a lot, unlike his old school he got a long with everyone. Another example is that, Cass started being mean to other kids from his new school. Cass would start picking on kids from his school or talking in a mean way to them.

In the novel Courage At Indian Deep I learned that you should not always get upset about moving because your parents sometimes need to move for the good of the family. We all know that many times families have to move for their jobs, and that children have no say.

Name: _Aly Rucinque___ Period:__ 4/5 __Topic:__ Wilderness Survival Guide/Technology KWL Chart__ [about this Idea or Question] To survive in the wilderness, I would need Tools from trees to survive I would also need, ||  What I Want to Know… [about this Idea or Question] ||  What I Need to Find Out – Post in your notes and sources || *I can make a tent with clothing. || "**T**" is for **Think**. Your most important asset is your brain. Use it! Don't Panic! Move with deliberate care. Think first, so you have no regrets later. Take no action, even a foot step, until you have thought it through. Unrecoverable mistakes and injuries, potentially serious in a survival situation, occur when we act before we engage our brain. Then. . . "**O**" is for **Observe**. Take a look around you. Assess your situation and options. Consider the terrain, weather and resources. Take stock of your supplies, equipment, surroundings, your personal capabilities and, if there are any, the abilities of your fellow survivors. "**P**" is for **Plan**. Prioritize your immediate needs and develop a plan to systematically deal with the emergency and contingencies while conserving your energy. Then, follow your plan. Adjust your plan only as necessary to deal with changing circumstances. **YOU WILL SURVIVE! ** || If I don’t remember S.T.O.P what would I do to do something like S.T.O.P? || · You can think of this when you’re in a situation like being stranded in the wilderness and do what it’s telling you 2 do. || March 9,2011
 * Main Ideas or Questions you have about survival in the Canadian Wilderness (one in each box) ||  What I Already Know …
 * 1. What would I need to survive in the Wilderness? || To survive in the wilderness, I would need Tools from trees to survive I would also need, food, and clothes. || Where could I find most things to survive, can get food from animals or trees? || *I can get my clothes from, animals or plants.
 * 2. What kind of hunting tools could I make to survive in the wilderness? || A rabbit stick is a primitive weapon for hunting small game. It is a curved stick about two and a half to three feet long. The stick is carved flat like a wing. The front and back edge are sharpened to create a wing like weapon. Because it is carved like a wing it is much easier to throw a long distance than a regular stick. Its shape causes it to almost float on the air. It’s normally thrown side arm and spun like a Frisbee. || Is there any other animals I could use to make my tools to survive without killing them? || · I can find Rabbits easily to make my Rabbit Stick to try and survive the wilderness.  ||
 * 3. What kind of shelter could build for myself that’s easy to construct? || The Lean-To-Lean Shelter. The lean-to shelter is the simplest and fastest shelter to build. You need a horizontal branch which can be tied between two trees or supported by two branches. Then the branches are leaned against the windward side to create an angled roof. The roof can then, be covered with branches ,grass or a tarp if you happen to have one. || Will it be easy for me to find branches or where could I find branches that are strong enough to hold a 1,000 branches on-top of it? || · Maybe I could get the branches from trees and then let them get as dry as they can be so they’re hard enough.  ||
 * 4. What kind of food could I find that could help me survive in the wilderness? || Black Birch is a great source of emergency food. Use the small twigs, inner bark, or the larger roots. The bark can be eaten fresh or cut into little pieces and boiled like noodles. The inner bark can also be ground up to use as a flour substitute. The twigs and inner bark can be steeped in hot water or birch sap to make a really nice tea. || What if I can’t find any trees that have the same characteristics as the, Black Birch Tree? || · If there isn’t any Black Birch Trees, I could maybe look for other trees that have the same characteristics.  ||
 * 5. How does S.T.O.P help us survive in the wilderness? || "**S**" is for **Stop**. Take a deep breath, sit down if possible, calm yourself and recognize that whatever has happened to get you here is past and cannot be undone. You are now in a survival situation and that means . ..
 * 6. How would I deal with, a burn or a cut? || To deal with a burn, cool immediately with cold water to reduce the severness of the burn. After it has been cooled the sap can be placed on the burn. Add the fluff from a cottonwood tree or the fluff from a cattail to it. || If I didn’t find any trees around me what else could I use? || · I could find many trees depending on where I am.  ||
