Island of the Blue Dolphins

Let's take a look at the things Karana had to think about to ensure short-term and long-term survival.

1. What is life like on an island?

2. What is the climate of the island?

3. What will be eaten for food?

4. What type of shelter can be built?

5. How will you defend yourself?

6. Should you wait to be rescued or try to escape the island?

 By the time of your rescue, you will have lived a short time like Karana. You will experience the trauma, mental anguish, fear, courage and ultimate victory that she lived to tell about. Come on, let's take a ride to the Island of the Blue Dolphins.
