Castaway Topic Unit Plan (5 Weeks)

This resource has been designed to be done alongside Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, but can also be done independently of the novel study.

Children will design survival inventions to withstand the environment of a remote island after a shipwreck before studying the organisms on the island by creating a field guide.

There are also opportunities for narrative and non-fiction writing.

Included Outcomes (also sold separately and in paired bundles):
Evaluate a survival invention
Explanation text of a survival invention
Create a field guide for island organisms
Information text about an island organism
Narrative writing about being stranded

**Link also included to digital file for editing and sharing on learning platforms such as Google Classroom and Seesaw.
