Lost in the Antarctic written by Tod Olson is a book about the doomed voyage of the Endurance. The Endurance is the name of the ship that the crew of 27 men went on for a trip into Antarctica on December 5, 1914. This book follows the crew on their journey as they adventure into the Antarctic. During this unit, I took many notes of themes and central ideas and learned about the journey to the coldest place on earth.

On this page, I was looking at how the captain, Shackleton, treated his crew. I noticed how he was making sure that they were happy and willing to keep going. I used this page to put out all of my thoughts and make sure that I had evidence and page numbers from different areas of the book.

On this page, I was looking at cause and effect. I found that there were many causes and effects of different things and this helped me to connect the things that were happening in the book. Because of this page, I was able to find different reasons why the crew wanted to go on the voyage into the coldest place on earth.

For this page, I looked at parts that I found confusing or that I felt had more information that I may have missed and reread them so that I would be able to understand what was happening and get important details. I used the post-it notes at the bottom of my page to see the themes and central ideas to track my thinking throughout the book.

On this page, I was looking at a theme that kept showing up. I used this page to track my thinking and to list out the evidence and the different areas of the book where these themes were mentioned. As I was developing my theme I tried to look at what the author wanted to teach me.
