To your STORY MAP add the lake with the island, cabin, and canoe to your map. Add the man in a sixth colour circle starting at his cabin. Our four main character lines travel down to the cabin and then back up the mountain to the Sequoia tree. The manβs line should follow them there. At the tree, Ochek is shot with an arrow and is transformed into a constellation. How can you show this? Ochekβs line should stop here. Eli, Morgan, Arik, and the man continue to the ice bridge. The wolf arrives here too, but weβre not sure where heβs been. You can draw a dotted line to show where you think the wolf may have travelled, and then he and the man fall off the cliff at the ice bridge. Eli, Morgan, and Arik continue along towards the tree bridge, but stop sooner to chop down a tree and cross the river. From here, they head back to Misewa.
