Unlike most of his other works, it is completely non-fiction and is a ollection of the stories BEHIND the stories. It's a great way to connect eader's workshop to writer's workshop and talk about where good writing ideas ome from. While Gary Paulsen's life and stories are truely extraordinary, it eally gives kids an idea of how to put themselves into their own writing. He's ot another non-fiction book out which I think is called Mother Earth, Father ky, or something along those lines, but I'd use Guts because it specifically elates to the Brian stories. nd Lori - good thinking with the Survivor Man idea!! I absolutely love that how, but never would have thought of using it in school! eather > Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:46:03 -0700> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] "Hatchet"> > How about a aped excerpt from Survivor Man or Man Vs.
