Treasure Island Book Plan (Bigs, 7-8, 2 Weeks)

Book: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Treasure Island starts with a map, so this plan teaches your child or students to read one like a navigator.

This two-week plan walks readers through Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel, all 34 chapters. Every day has a reading assignment, three original discussion questions and one printable page. Students label the parts of a schooner like the Hispaniola, decode the compass bearings on the back of Flint's map, lay out a real bearings-and-paces trail, plot pirate-era ports by latitude and longitude, sort true pirate history from storybook legend, write from Long John Silver's point of view and argue whether he is a villain, a survivor or both. It ends with a hand-drawn treasure map built on a real coordinate grid.

Perfect for grades 7 to 8 classrooms, homeschool families and book clubs.
