Extreme Settings<br />

Gary Paulson writes in Hatchet, “You are your most valuable asset. Don’t forget that. You are the<br />

best thing you have.” This quote epitomizes the importance of perseverance, tenacity, creativity,<br />

and knowledge in the face of adversity. Students explore the challenges presented by extreme<br />

environments, examining the characteristics of setting and analyzing what makes certain<br />

landscapes challenging for survival.<br />
