This summer, we read a book called Finding Someplace by Denise Lewis Patrick. In one part, Reesie, the main character, had to pack up her stuff and leave her house because what was her house then, was soon to be destroyed by hurricane Catrina. Recently, my class acted as if we were in Reesie’s  situation by drawing our own backpack and packing it up with what we would bring if we were in a hurricane. Here is what mine looked liked.

This was such a fun activity for me and now I know what I would bring if I were in a hurricane!
