Learn about optimism and perseverance
To read and understand the article
To write an essay about the story of Shackleton and his men on the ship Endurance
This is a continuation of the story of Shackleton’s men who were left on Elephant Island. In Pairs, predict what happened the crew members. Then read the
memoir to see
if your
predictions
were correct.
THE REWARD FOR PERSEVERANCE
What problems would the people remaining on Elephant Island face
What do you think was the biggest challenge for them
How long do you think they had stayed on the island
Were they finally rescued
I predict that the crew members struggled with keeping warm in the terrible conditions. They also would have found it hard to find food and make fire. The ice would have been moving and breaking too, which would be very dangerous. I predict that Shackleton would be successful in rescuing his men, though I am not sure if all of them survived for that long.
1. What did the men eat and drink on the island
2. What were the dangers of living on the island
Read the text again and answer the following questions.
The men ate the meat of sea creatures and drank water from melted ice.
The dangers of living on the island were the changing temperatures, lack of food and water, and the black smoke from burning animal fat.
How did the men stay in good spirits while waiting to be rescued
The men stayed in good spirits by being disciplined and staying positive. They celebrated birthdays, festivals, and every time when they caught a sea animal.
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.
5. If you were one of the men on Elephant Island, would you have trusted Shackleton Why or why not
I would have trusted Shackleton as he was a man of honour and would do all he possibly could to save us.
Read the text again and fill in the blanks.

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.
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 (n. 动机) for their actions
* What did you like most about the story
Struggles Actions in response Motives Members involved My feelings and comments
Shipwreck *Rescue most essential supplies *Throw away personal belongings To survive Everyone on the ship Shackleton was a very calm and experienced explorer and leader. The crew kept good discipline.
2. Begin your essay with a brief summary of the story. Remember to include who, what, where, when, why, and how.

3. Use your notes and cite examples to explain what you think about the characters.
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.
Paragraph 1
Summary of the whole story (who, what, when, where, how, why)
What I think about the characters in the story (struggles they faced, their actions and motives, my comments)
Paragraph 2
How the story made me feel and my overall impressions of the expedition
Paragraph 3
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 them.
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.

To talk about whether a person is suitable for a certain job
1. What can you see in the picture
2. When and where do you think the smaller picture was taken
3. What were the people in the small picture doing
Look at the picture and discuss:
Shackleton and a team tried to sail to another island to find help. Look at the picture below and discuss the challenges you think they faced.
South Georgia Island
South Georgia Island is a sub-Antarctic island administered by the United Kingdom as part of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
Looking at the landscape in the picture I think Shackleton and his team would have faced many challenges. First of all, it was very cold and there was snow and ice everywhere. The area is also very mountainous, so they would have had to climb with their essentials. It would also be hard to know where they were going as the place is very large and all looks the same. On top of the physical challenges, they would have had great mental challenges facing those conditions and not knowing what to expect and whether they would succeed.
Listen to one of the team members talk about the rescue plan and their journey. Complete the summary.
The team consisted of _______ members. They sailed on rough seas for days before they landed on the ________ side of South Georgia Island. Later they climbed over the mountains and __________ the whaling station. Later, Shackleton arranged for a rescue boat to return to _________ Island. Luckily, everyone was _________.
six
wrong
arrived at
Elephant
still alive

cause and effect
1. Why was it necessary for Shackleton to travel to South Georgia Island
2. Why was it important to include a navigator in the team
3. Why did Shackleton choose the most difficult and unfriendly men to join the rescue mission
4. Why did Shackleton look extremely old
Listen again and answer these questions.
1. Why was it necessary for Shackleton to travel to South Georgia Island
2. Why was it important to include a navigator in the team
Shackleton had to travel to South Georgia Island to get help to rescue the rest of his crew.
It was important to include a navigator so they would know where they were going and not get lost.
3. Why did Shackleton choose the most difficult and unfriendly men to join the rescue mission
4. Why did Shackleton look extremely old
Shackleton chose him because he wanted the crew left behind to remain cheerful and positive and the man would have had a negative influence on the crew.
Shackleton looked extremely old because of the conditions but also because he was very worried about the fate of his crew left behind.

Before we move on, we need to consider ...
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 ….
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.
What problems would the rescue team probably face Whose skills and qualities can best help solve these problems
What problems would the people remaining on Elephant island face Whose skills and qualities can best help solve these problems
After you have selected your two sailors, present your choice to the class.
My group chooses Frank Worsley and Tom Crean as two members for the rescue team. Frank Worsley was an excellent navigator, so he could use his skills to guide them across the dangerous sea. Tom Crean was strong, energetic, and brave, so he would be very useful on the dangerous mission.
Suppose you are Shackleton and you are going to choose two sailors to join the rescue team, who would be your first choice
Why
Write your choice as Shackleton and your reasons.
