March 9-14: Filling in the Gaps with the Wild Truth; “Return to the Wild”

On these days, we did the following:

  1. Engaged in FEAR Time.

HANDED IN “UNCOVERING ALEXANDER SUPERTRAMP” handout, front page with the grid only with everything completed (3/9-10/17).

2. Remaining Questions – I solicited any and all remaining questions regarding the entire Chris McCandless saga.  I typed these questions into a Word file and saved it.

3. Filling in the Gaps – I distributed a handout entitled, “The ‘Keys’ to Unlocking Chris McCandless” that addresses a film clip from the 2007 film, Into the Wild and a 2015 documentary called Return to the Wild, based on Carine McCandless’s (sister) book The Wild Truth.  We’re watching these pieces of visual documentation in order to provide the possible missing answers to any questions posed above or throughout this segment of the Outdoor unit.  Students hold on to this handout as we will be finishing the documentary next time.
