DIORAMA• Create a diorama from any scene in Hatchet. You can use whatever materials

you wish such as sand, play dough, clay, sticks, straws, figurines, paper, rocks,

leaves, edible materials, etc. The sky is the limit. Materials such as paint,

markers, pencil crayons, tape, glue, stir sticks, popsicle sticks, cardboard rolls,

string, and paper are other materials that may help as well. Any needed

materials should be brought from home. There are a lot of descriptions in the

book so it is important to be accurate. Also, please include a description of why

you included what you did in the diorama. Use specific references from the book

(page numbers) and make your description and diorama very detailed.
