Island of the Blue Dolphin

We have begun our new Literature study.  

Scott O'Dell wrote this story about a real young lady who was 

brought to America from a nearby island.  

While she could not speak our language and 

was all alone, those caring for her were able to 

figure out what happened to her village.  

Scott O'Dell took this real life story and 

turned it into a wonderful children's book. 

We will be doing study guides filled with a variety of tasks.  

Some of those tasks involve students looking up about the 

plant and animal life of this island.  Many of these items were used as 

food for the village people.  Since there will be times that students 

need to access the internet for research, temporary passwords 

will be set up for them to use.  They are expected to follow the 

rules and guidelines they signed in the beginning of the year.

MAP PROJECT

All students will be doing a project based on this novel.  

They are to create a map of the island and have areas labeled that are mentioned in the book.  

As we approach the end of the novel I will be setting a firm due date for their project.
