Island of the Blue Dolphins Travel Brochure Project

 The class read the first few chapters of Hatchet.  They were told to pay special attention to the details given on the plane and cockpit.  In class, each group was given the same items and had to replicate the cockpit to the best of their ability.  The creativity was seriously amazing!  I love how different each group's projects were!
