Day 1 Describe Akiak. Give the details about the setting you hear in the story. Day 2 Why do you think that the dogs take their lead from Akiak and not Mick? What do you think the commands given mean? “Haw” “Gee”
Story Structure: Characters: Main people or animals in a story around whom the story events revolve Setting: The time and place in which a story occurs Plot: The sequence of story events, which usually includes a problem and solution.
Day 3 What happened when they met up with Willy Ketcham? Day 4 How do you think Akiak felt about being left behind? Day 5 If Akiak could talk what was she saying to the pilot? Day 6 How did the story change? Is it about the race or about Akiak’s safety?
Day 7 Why do you think that Akiak is cautious as she nears the checkpoint? Day 8 What challenges does Akiak face trying to catch her team? Day 9 Why do you think that the “layover” is a requirement of the race? Why is it important?
Day 10 How does the author make the wind seem alive in the first sentence of this page? He uses personification (gives human qualities or actions to objects and ideas.) What was Akiak telling the lead dogs when he barked at them? Do you agree with Mick that nothing was going to stop this dog from winning?
