Now because we are on a deserted island we can't use things like bricks and cement to build a shelter. You will need to think about all the materials you can find on the island that could be used to make a shelter. Explore the links below and examine the different types of shelters and how to make them. //__Journal Entry Day 3__ - Describe the island materials you would use and the type of shelter you would build to protect yourself on the island, and how you would build it.
