Welcome to Camp Internet’s DIG called “How Did Karana Survive?”

Channel Islands Dig: . . . . Mon, Sep 9, 7:16AM PST (-0800 GMT)
Camp has provided your class with online information about the story of the Island of the Blue Dolphins, and about the historical accounts of the REAL Lone Woman of San Nicolas that the Scott O’Dell book is based on. Over the coming months, we encourage students to read this interesting story, watch the video if available - AND - compare it to the historical documents we have put on the Internet for the first time anywhere in the world. .............How do the historical, novel and film version differ ? How are they the same? Why do you think there are these differences ? Feel free to write a short essay on these questions and send it to us to post online. OR - make it you special report for the FALL FIELD REPORTS ?

HINT --- REMEMBER ………………..In this DIG you will want to read each QUESTION, follow the BUTTON that links you to where the answer can be found, and then use your browser’s BACK button (usually upper left) to come back into the DIG and post your ANSWERS. When composing an ANSWER, be sure to make it a full sentence – example, if the question is How many Channel Islands are there? Do not answer with just a number, write a full sentence that includes the answer. Also, it is very important to include your first name and school or teacher’s name in the YOUR HANDLE box before you post every time…. HAVE FUN !!!!
