Jack London's "To Build A Fire" is about man and nature. The effects of extreme cold (-70F) on the human body are described as a man underestimates nature on his trek to camp in the Yukon. After reading the story, students are given a short story assignment that encourages them to think about nature and the effects of cold on the human body. A variety of resources are provided for students to research more on their own or for discussion in the class.
