"Call of the Wild"--Movie options

These are three well-known movies about the book.
1. Made in 1972, starring Charlton Heston as John Thornton.
2. Made in 1992, starring Rick Schroeder as John Thornton.
3. Made in 1997, starring Rutger Hauer as John Thornton.

There are several other movie versions, also, since the book is very well-loved and popular.

The one we will probably watch in class is option #3, for getting the best reviews and being the closest to the story in the book.

If you want to watch #1 at home on your own, click on the link in Yetterboe's favorite links, for a full-length version of the movie from Hulu.com.

Remember that all movie versions always change the book a little or sometimes a lot.

Hi! This is our summer school blog for Ms. Yetterboe's class.

Today in the computer lab, you will be looking for information about Maine or Kansas. The sites below will help you get started on finding information about Kansas, Jacob Whitting's home state; or Maine, Sarah Wheaton's home state.

We will compare both states later in class.

Don't try to find all the information at once. You might have to look in a few different sites to get all the information you want. You can also use Google to find specific facts.
