2. DIORAMA
•Create a diorama from any scene in Hatchet. You can use whatever materials
you wish such as sand, play dough, clay, sticks, straws, figurines, paper, rocks,
leaves, edible materials, etc. The sky is the limit. Materials such as paint,
markers, pencil crayons, tape, glue, stir sticks, popsicle sticks, cardboard rolls,
string, and paper are other materials that may help as well. Any needed
materials should be brought from home. There are a lot of descriptions in the
book so it is important to be accurate. Also, please include a description of why
you included what you did in the diorama. Use specific references from the book
(page numbers) and make your description and diorama very detailed.
5. SURVIVAL GUIDE

item and/or idea listed in the guide, write how to create it and/or find it, why it is
important and how it was used in the novel, hatchet. include a picture of it (a
minimum of 7 items!)
8. JOURNAL ENTRIES

stranded. your journal should be written as if you are really Brian, detailing what he experienced
in the wilderness. You should have at least 10 events included in your journal.
11. HATCHET BOARD GAME
• Construct a game using the events in the story for the theme. The game needs to be made for at

book.
