Activity 5: Retell the story with the structure and mind map
After Shackleton and other five members sailed away from Elephant Island, the crew members left on the island tried all they could to stay alive while waiting for rescue. They got drinking water from melted ice and burned animal fat for fire, solving food problems by varying the meals of sea animals. And they had to be careful not to go outside to often so as to avoid getting ill. With so many difficulties and challenges, however, their discipline and team spirit kept them optimistic and eased their fears in a positive and successful way. Their optimism and faith in Shackleton had helped them persevere in staying alive for so long. And in return for their trust, Shackleton paid them back by his commitment to save them at last.
1. What were the dangers of living on the island
2. What do you think were the key reasons for their survival
I think the key reasons for their survival were their discipline and positive mental attitude, as well as the reliability of Shackleton.
The dangers of living on the island were the changing temperatures, lack of food and water, and the black smoke from burning animal fat.
Activity 6: Discuss
3. If you were one of the men on Elephant Island, would you have trusted Shackleton Why or why not
4. How would you describe Shackleton
I would have trusted Shackleton as he was a man of honour and would do all he possibly could to save us.
Activity 6: Discuss
Shackleton is a calm, wise, selfless, responsible leader and explorer.
His actions and qualities gave the crew members strong belief that
he would come back to save them and he would make it.
5. How would you describe the crew members Why
Activity 6: Discuss
In my opinion, the crew members are very brave, though a few of them are not very positive, and all of the crew members were at times worried and desperate about their situation, which was completely reasonable and understandable. On the whole, however, they remained positive. This was mainly because all the crew members trusted Shackleton deeply and they knew he would do his best to save them.

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 aboard. However, they faced great troubles when the ship got stuck in the ice and they had to abandon the ship. Consequently, they had to face the extreme weather as well as a dangerous environment with limited supplies on Elephant Island. Luckily, Shackleton and other five members left the island to look for rescue and manage to save them at last.
Shackleton is described as calm and brave and takes his crew’s safety very seriously. In addition, the rest of the crew are also brave and overall 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 them.
Sample Writing
What I like most about this story is 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 at last.
