Call of the Wild- Buck's Journey North

This complete lesson(s) focuses on Buck’s journey to the North. Pupils will listen (audio link) and read along to Chapter 1 of ‘Call of the Wild’ and place the events in chronological order (worksheet). Then they will consider the feelings and motives of the main characters: Buck, the man in the red sweater and Perrault through a ‘hotseating’ task. Finally, pupils can write a diary entry as Buck, describing his ordeal. More able pupils might want to choose a different character: the man in the red sweater or Perrault.
