The dusty private road into the MacLeod property called Freeman. This part of the driveway is fenced, but for most of the way it isn't. So cows, horses, kangaroos and other animals can hop out at any moment!
Class Project
Write a short survival story about what happens
when something goes wrong with your car (or your
horse/bike/plane) and you're stranded for 3 days until somebody finds
you. No cheating. You're mobile phone has
been busted and the nearest village is full of head hunters or your
enemies. How would you eat, drink and find shelter without them catching
you? And what would you do to protect yourself from both two legged and
four legged predators while still helping rescuers to find
you?
Science Experiment
Go to the biggest tree at your school and see how many things you can find living in or around it. Then draw a predator diagram to show who eats who and which creatures live in harmony. Include a picture of yourself if you'd eat any of the things you find, or if you'd keep some as pets. Once you've done it scientifically, try creating fantasy character names to replace the real ones on your diagram and you'll have a handy "relationship tree" to help you track love/hate relationships between characters in your fantasy world.
