A 7-week booklet of study for ‘Treasure Island’ with evidence-based strategies to develop comprehension, reading fluency, and other intervention strategies identified by Accelerated Reader STAR tests. Easily adapted to suit the needs of the class.
This is an adaptation to our current SOL and therefore, it is only from Page.60 onwards of the Wordsworth Edition of ‘Treasure Island’.
This sequence of lessons could last between three and five lessons depending on ability. It is easily adaptable, but is full of challenging and creative tasks to stretch and support a range of abilities. A great introduction to poetry and techniques, showing students how to annotate and structure a response also. It also analyses Still I Rise in great detail. This sequence has a lot of scaffolding, which can easily be removed for higher ability.
