目标二：To write an essay about the story of Shackleton and his men on the ship Endurance
Activity 1: Based on the diary entries and the memoir you have
read, write an essay about the story of Shackleton and
his men on the ship Endurance.
Step 1 Read the story again and think about the following questions. Make notes with your answers.
How does the author describe Shackleton and his crew members
What kind of relationship did Shackleton have with his crew
What struggles did they face
What were the motives for their actions
What did you like most about the story
Step 2 Begin your essay with a brief summary of the story. Remember to include who, what, where, when, why and how.
Step 3 Use your notes and cite examples to explain what you think about the characters.
Step 4 End your essay by talking about how the story made you feel, and give your overall impressions of the expedition and the men who went on it. Explain why you feel this way.
Activity 2: Sketch out the outline of your essay.
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3
Summary of the whole story (who, what, when, where, why, how)
What I think about the characters in the story (struggles they faced, their actions and motives, my comments)
How the story made me feel and my overall impressions of the expedition
Activity 3: Exchange drafts with a partner. Use the checklist to give
feedback on your partner's draft.
Does the essay contain the main points in the story
Is the essay written in the writer’s own words
Does the writer give his/her opinion about the story
Does the writer present his/her ideas clearly by using linking words and phrases
Activity 4: Get your draft back and revise it. Then put up your
essay in your classroom or read it to the class.
Sample writing:
This story is about the 1914-1916 expedition by Ernest Shackleton to make the first land crossing of Antarctica. For this task he used the ship, Endurance, with a 28-man crew, including one stowaway.
Shackleton is described as calm and brave and takes his crew's safety very seriously. The rest of the crew are also brave, though a few are not very positive, and all were at times understandably worried and desperate about their situation. Overall though, they remained positive. This was helped by the good relationship Shackleton had with his crew who trusted him and knew he would do his best to save then.
The crew faced great troubles once Endurance got stuck in the ice. Soon they had to abandon the ship and camp on the ice. They had to face the extreme weather and cold as well as a dangerous environment and all with limited supplies. All of this added to the mental challenge, so they had to maintain a positive state of mind. Shackleton's motive was always to make sure his crew survived, and theirs was to last until he had found help.
What I like most about this story is that although their expedition failed in achieving its goal, it was not the disaster it could have been. This was due to Shackleton's perseverance in getting help and the crew's bravery in surviving for so long. My impression of them is very positive as they must have struggled greatly in such a position of adversity. I felt very happy when I learnt that the whole crew survived.

Suggested Answers:
1. Men who didn’t mind the wages and difficulties and had
great perseverance.
2. Yes. Because I love adventures and challenges. / No. Because I
hate taking risks and besides, I value my life.
Activity 3: Read the title, background and three diaries quickly. Then
find out the main ideas referring to the following table.

2 1915.11.21 The second diary is about how Shackleton and his crew abandoned the ship Endurance.
3 1916.5.20 The third diary mainly describes the crew members’ life on Elephant Island.
Activity 3: Careful reading.
Task 1 Read the text and answer the questions.
1. How did Blackborow come to join the expedition
2. What happened to Endurance What did the crew members have to do
3. What did Shackleton do to make sure they could survive
1. He secretly went aboard a ship, the Endurance, and hid in a small cupboard.
2. Endurance became stuck in the ice as we approached Antarctica. The ship got
crushed and the crew had to abandon it. The crew had to collect essential supplies
and camp on the ice.
3. Shackleton made sure they survived by leaving with a few men to find help. It was
too dangerous for all the men to go.
Task 2 Sort out Blackborow’s psychological changes during the journey, and then fill in the table.

change as the days passed
2. What personal qualities did Shackleton, Wild, and Blackborow
exhibit Find examples from the text to support your answers.
Infer character traits and emotions
To infer means to guess something based on the evidence. When inferring character traits and emotions in a story, you need to look at the characters’ words and actions. What do these tell us about their personal qualities and feelings
Suggested Answers:
1. Blackborow's feeling about being on the expedition changed from enthusiasm at
the start to fear and extreme discomfort after Endurance got stuck.
2. Shackleton showed kindness when he allowed Blackborow to stay on the ship
and gave him a job. He showed calmness when he asked the crew to collect
essentials. He showed he was not selfish when he left his gold behind, but
showed he was thinking of others' feelings by allowing Hussey to keep his banjo.
He showed great bravery by setting off to find help for the rest of the crew. Wild
was shown to be kind when he tried to lift Blackborow's spirits. Blackborow
was enthusiastic at first, making sure he got on the expedition. Although he felt
low later, he tried to think about better things, showing again his positive character.
Activity 6: Imagine you are Perce Blackborow. Write a message
in a bottle to explain your situation and ask for help.
Sample Writing:
Help! My shipmates and I are trapped on Elephant Island, near South Georgia Island. We have no decent place to sleep and almost no food and water. Please send help as soon as possible!
Yours faithfully,
Perce Blackborow of the Sir Ernest Shackleton expedition to the South Pole

Let’s look at the fourth choice. Before we move on, we need to consider …
Task 3 Suppose you are Shackleton and you are going to choose two sailors to join the rescue team, who would be your first choice
EXAMPLE
A: We have to decide on which two sailors Shackleton chose for his rescue team.
Let’ s look at Frank Wild.
B: He is a good leader and is experienced in exploring the Antarctic. So, I think he’s
suitable to join the rescue team.
C: Hmm, I think we should move on to the next sailor. According to Perce’s diary
entries, Frank Wild was left with the other crew members on Elephant Island.
A: I agree. Let's move on to the next candidate. What do you think about Frank Worsley
B: Well, he is…
Sample Conversation
A: OK, we need to choose the two sailors that joined Shackleton's rescue team.
Let's look at our choices.
B: So how about Frank Wild and Tom Crean They were both experienced in
exploring and living in the Antarctic, and they also had many good qualities,
such as being kind and strong.
C: Yes, but look at Perce's diary. Frank Wild stayed on Elephant Island with the
others. So we can cross him off our list.
B: Oh, yes, well spotted. Then what about Tom Crean Anyone have any ideas
A: Well, he was good at living in the Antarctic, so maybe he stayed on the island
to help, but I think his strength and bravery meant that Shackleton would have
chosen him for the dangerous mission.
B: Agreed, so one choice is Tom Crean. OK, let's move on to another candidate. How
do you feel about Frank Worsley
A: I think he is a good choice because he was an excellent navigator.
C: I agree. The rescue team needed a good navigator. He could be our second choice.
B: But what about Hubert Hudson He was also good at navigating.
A: Yes, but he was also the best at catching penguins, so I think he would have
stayed on the island with the others so they had enough to eat.
C: Sounds reasonable. But we should also look at Thomas Orde-Lees. He was an
excellent skier, so maybe he could be helpful on the mission.
B: Hmm… maybe, but I think he didn't have as much to offer as Frank and Tom.
Besides, Perce complained about him in his diary, so I think he probably stayed on
the island.
A: I agree, so let's choose Frank and Tom.
Activity 2: After you have selected your two sailors, present your
choice to the class.

Activity 2: While you watch
Task 1 Check the answers in Before You Watch.
Task 2 Answer the questions using information from the video.
1. What is so special about Mount Rakekniven
2. What is Jon Krakauer's main job on this climb
3. Apart from the steepness of the mountain, what makes this
climb especially difficult
4. How long does the climb take in total
Suggested Answers:
1. Mount Rakekniven is special because it had never been climbed before.
2. Jon Krakauer's main job is to put the flag on the top of the mountain.
3. The climb is also especially difficult because of the changing and
extreme weather conditions, and also the rocks which are sharp and
also fail easily.
4. The climb takes ten days in total.
Activity 3: After you watch
Discuss these questions in groups.
1. Why do you think Krakauer wanted to climb another mountain
again so soon after climbing Mount Qomolangma
2. The video says that the challenge of the climb was "not only
physical, but personal" for Krakauer. What do you think this means
3. How might a difficult challenge help a person overcome sadness
or other bad feelings
Suggested Answers
1. I think Krakauer wanted to climb another mountain so soon because he had lost friends on the previous climb and wanted to succeed for them.
2. I think this means he had to overcome the physical challenges of climbing in those conditions, but also the personal emotions of climbing so soon after losing friends while climbing.
3. A person facing sadness or bad feelings may feel depressed with no desire to do anything but overcoming a difficult challenge could prove their self-worth and show them life goes on and is still worth living.
