Island of the Blue Dolphins Book Companion Unit Study
This 34-page Book Companion is a perfect addition to your read along of the beautiful
book, The Island of the Blue Dolphins. It includes history and culture of the people in the story.
Island of the Blue Dolphins includes so many amazing descriptions of plants and animals. We sought to capture that in our unit study also. We have short facts on the animals and a step by step how to draw of all the pets that Karana kept throughout the book.
There are interactive paper crafts such as creating her abalone necklaces and packing her basket for the trip.
Also included are crosswords and word matches of vocabulary found in the book.
Each lesson in our unit study focuses on a separate important part of survival since that is the overwhelming theme throughout the book.
We even added coloring pages for your younger or more artistic students.
