A Totem Story


During Cole's second banishment to the island, he spends a great deal of time carving his personal journey into a Totem. Each lesson Cole learns on the island is represented by a different animal or natural image.

For this, your final blog, outline your own Totem. If you were to carve a Totem, like Cole, what would be the five significant events or lesson that you would include? What animal would you use to represent those lessons?

Your Totem must include five animals or natural symbols (eg. A sapling for a new beginning, or a mouse for feeling small or insignificant.) You must briefly describe the event that the animal represents and what that event taught you. You may enhance your blog by adding pictures of the animals.
