Silent Read 20 min.
Intro to double block project -
“Turn Your Poster Into a 3-D Survival Camp” - AGAIN WE WILL NOT START THIS UNTIL WEDNESDAY!!!!
Goal
Use your completed Survival Poster to build a 3-D model of your group’s survival campsite.
The model should bring your poster to life and show how your 10 items would actually be used in the wilderness.
Your poster will guide:
Your camp layout
Where each item goes
How you use each tool
Your shelter, fire, water, and safety plan
This is a hands-on, creative extension activity.
Requirements for the 3-D Model
✔ 1. Use Your Poster as Your Blueprint
Your model must follow the survival plan you already created:
Same 10 items
Same survival strategy
Same layout ideas (shelter, fire, water access, food prep, etc.)
Your poster should be beside you while you build.
✔ 2. Create a 3-D Survival Camp Model
Use ANY basic materials you have:
Shoe box, box lid, cardboard
Clay, Play-Doh, Lego, blocks
Paper, tinfoil, popsicle sticks
Rocks, sticks, string
Recycled materials
Drawn or paper cut-out items if needed
Models can be simple or detailed — neatness, clarity, and accuracy matter more than art skill.
✔ 3. Include All 10 Survival Items
Every item from your poster must appear in your model in some form:
Built
Drawn
Sculpted
Paper-labeled
Or represented by a small object
Each item must be labeled clearly.
✔ 4. Camp Layout Elements (Non-negotiable)
Your model must show:
Shelter location
Fire area
Water source
Tool storage or use area
Sleeping space
Food prep or eating space
Use the layout from your poster — or update it slightly if you realized something could be improved.
✔ 5. Mini Explanations (Short + Simple)
Attach one sentence per item explaining:
How you will use it
ORWhy it is placed where it is in the model
These may be:
On small flags stuck into the model
Written on a cue card beside it
Taped to the sides of the shoebox
Final Step — Quick Presentation
Each group gets 4-5 minutes to show:
The model
Their 10 items
One important survival decision they made when building
One change they made from their poster (if any)
