FINAL PROJECT
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Writing Activity
TEACHER DIRECTIONS:
I tell students that they should pick 3 very specific events and
give a lot of details. I let my students pick their 3 events, but
you could assign events to struggling students and let your higher
students pick their own.
Name: __________________________________
Task:
Write a letter from the point of view of Karana to your tribe letting them know you have survived on the island.
Tell them about your initial time on the island and about the adventures you have had since you were left by the
rescue ship. Describe at least three events including any friendships that you have made along the way. Be
descriptive in your letter. Describe the way things looked, felt, and sounded. Also explain the way you felt
throughout your time alone on the island. At the end of your letter, tell your tribe whether you would like
them to return for you or not.
