Use this Reading Response Assignment and Battle Royale style activity to teach about Bushcraft and Primitive Survival Techniques while reinforcing simple geographical knowledge about world geography and the basic biomes of the world. Any fan of fortnite or other battle royale style video games will love this assignment! But even the students who don't play fortnite will enjoy making their battle royale survival plan.
I normally use this assignment during my Ancient History unit on early humans as a way to help students understand the hardship of surviving without modern technology. I've also used it directly after my unit on the Fall of Rome when we discuss the collapse of civilization before diving into Feudalism in Europe.
Really this assignment is a plug and play that you can use in many different class periods. Thinking tactically about survival never goes out of style, and students are always engaged during this assignment. I've also used it as a last minute sub plan and have never gotten a bad note!
Geography, What I Need to Know Introductory, Culminating Activity
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This "What You Need to Know" is a great and fun culminating activity to use at the end of a study. This culminating activity can be used with any topic related to an event, historical character, or country study. It will require some higher-level thinking skills for use of chronological order.
Although this is written for social studies, it can also be used to help students review and determine the level of importance of information studied in other subjects and disciplines that require students to comprehend large amounts of information.
This lesson is designed for individual work but would work very well for cooperative groups or teams.
