Island of the Blue Dolphins - Chapter 28

The author almost never uses words that describe how Karana is feeling. We can often guess, though, by how he describes what Karana is doing. From his descriptions, what do you think Karana is feeling when she first sees the ship? When she hears the man calling her? When she realizes that the ship has left without her?

Island of the Blue Dolphins - Chapter 27

Why do you think Karana tries to catch the wild dog that is Rontu's son?

Island of the Blue Dolphins - Final Project

Create a diorama. A diorama is a miniture scene created in three dimensions (3-D) by placing objects, figures, etc., in front of a painted background. This diorama must show an important or memorable event/scene from the story. Use an ordinary shoe box (or any similar-size box: about 8" x 12" x 16") as the background. All inside (background) surfaces of the box must be colored, covered or illustrated to become the background for the scene; no plain box may be showing as part of the scene. Also, this project requires a written description of the diorama. This writing must be at least one paragraph long. The focus of this writing is to act as a kind of caption for the scene in your diorama. Attach this writing to the outside back side of the diorama. Your name and the date of completion must appear in the top right hand corner of this writing.

ALL project are due Friday, March 6th
