Your group will write a survival guide manual that will contain appropriate visuals/pictures/covers, etc. Each member of your group will write a chapter in the manual. Your chapter needs to be 350 words and needs to have TWO AUTHENTIC SOURCES. Your group needs to pick an environment and survival situation for the basis of your environment (think jungle, the arctic, the desert, etc.) Here are the chapters:

* What are the essentials/shelter/equipment/food needed in your survival situation?
