Nelson.  It fits in very nicely with our theme this year on surviving life’s challenges.  We will finish reading chapter three this week.  Don’t forget to hand in your answers to the 3 questions (also posted here), vocabulary work and your journal on Friday. 

1. In Lisa’s previous life before the Plague, she felt a belonging to certain things like Girl Guides, school, family, friends and sports teams.  How has the new world changed Lisa and her thoughts about who and what she “belongs” to?  

2. Did Lisa accomplish what she wanted to at the farm?  What were the unknown surprises she encountered with this trip?

3. Lisa and Todd are learning a lot about self preservation and survival.  What are some of their strategies?  Have they been successful to this point?  What is working for them?  What is working against them?
