Words to Pictures!

Students' visualizations of the geography as described in Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.

“The Lake stretched out

                

slightly below him.

He was at the base of the ‘L’,

looking up the long part with

the short part out to his right. In the morning light and calm

the water was absolutely,

perfectly still. He could see

the reflections of the trees at

the other end of the lake. Upside down in the water,

they seemed almost like

another forest, an upside-

down forest to match the real

one. As he watched, a large

bird flew from the top, real

forest, and the reflection-bird

matched it, both flying out

over the water.”
