Life+Skills+they+brought+home.


 * This was a very exciting part of the project for me as lead teacher and the person who created the project.**
 * To witness these students develop their critical thinking skills, to see them learn survival techniques and watch**
 * them use their skills. To look at the data and see the effect of this project, not only in their comprehension and written work,**
 * but in what they valued and brought home.**
 * Many of the students went home and constructed their own survival shelters (Quinzee). Some students, after their certification,**
 * decided to go on a day trip with the project equipment. Several students got together and made many of the tools that the main**
 * character, Brian, made in his bid for survival. A paddle was fashioned out of a tree; a small traditional long bow was made, arrows and all...**
 * That same student, with the help of other project members, constructed a heavy bow to be used when hunting larger animals, and had the duel**
 * purpose of protection from dangerous large animals.**
 * The students did many more home initiated projects, but these are only a few to demonstrate**
 * their great creative skills.**
 * Since this project ended, one student has been hired to reproduce the paddle he made for the project. The story behind his creativity has also**
 * garnered employment for another former student for her skill in artestry. Her painting skill and his creativity in making the paddle, are catching on, and they have already combined their skills in creating two more paddles-one as an award for the Dragon boat races to raise awareness for cancer research and the other for Bremner Farm equipment sales as an Ad for Equipment.**
