French:

Circle the verbs on pg.18 La Voix Des Ados and write down l'infinitif.


Novel Study: Hatchet Chp.19-20 Plot Diagram Climax (high point):

The survival pack yields a "treasure of presents" for Brian including: a sleeping bag, cooking kit, fishing kit, camp fire kit, rifle, first aid kit, toiletries, compass, transmitter and dehydrated food - all essential supplies he needed 2 months ago; it's ironic that he finds the survival pack now after having to create these supplies from scratch.

Brian is surprised by a plane/pilot (bush trapper) that spontaneously appears to rescue him - he does not know how to react and simply introduces himself and offers the pilot food. 

Epilogue Plot Diagram (Falling Action/Resolution):

This chapter catalogs the changes in Brian resulting from his ordeal:

-he lost a lot of weight/body fat
-he became more observant and reacted better (acute senses)
-he became more thoughtful before speaking
-he no longer took food for granted; he was in awe of it
-his adventure was documented by reporters
-the plants and animals he encountered were identified
-father back to work in oil fields, mom back to work in real estate
-Brian never revealed The Secret to his dad
-This "Brian" is not the "original Brian": his experience changed him physically, mentally and emotionally.
