The Endurance Series Workbook takes a deep dive into the award-winning graphic novel series, Endurance: Book One, The Frozen Keep, and Book Two, The Beckoning Shore.
These graphic novels chronicle one of the most famous polar explorations of all time...the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Frustrated to lose the coveted prize of becoming the first explorer to plant his country's flag on the South Pole, British explorer Ernest Shackleton created a risky plan to cross the continent of Antarctica with sleds and dogs-a trek of more than 1,800 miles.
The Endurance Series Workbook examines the attitudes and skills a member of an Antarctic expedition would need to survive: common sense, logic, map reading, decision making, and problem solving. It looks into the actual journal of Shackleton as he documented the Endurance's fateful voyage.
This self-paced workbook is an effective unit study to supplement your education. It combines the fun of reading through an exciting graphic novel series, with the comprehensive breadth of knowledge gained by going through this companion workbook.
