Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell

Island of the Blue Dolphins: A Teaching Guide is a fifty page resource for teaching Scott O’Dell’s 1961 Newbery Medal Winner with two components.

First is a series of OBJECTIVE TESTS that check for basic comprehension. The quizzes cover the novel chapter-by-chapter and as a whole book test. Students will find it necessary to read the material carefully and thoroughly for FACTUAL CONTENT in order to score well on these tests.

The second section SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT/SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT is a series of open-ended questions and activity prompts based on the higher-level thinking skills of Bloom’s Taxonomy and CCSS.  Most of the items address events from individual chapters while others are whole-book oriented.

Objective tests answer keys are included.
