Treasure Island | 8 Lessons, 34 Chapter Prompts & Map Work | Grade 6

Treasure Island is a grade 6 novel study with 49 pages of classroom material and a separate 22-page teacher guide. It covers all six parts of the novel with 34 chapter prompts, maps, and work on character and perspective, plus persuasive and narrative writing. It is written for upper elementary and middle school English teachers and homeschool families who want a structured companion to the novel.

The study has eight lessons, and each one uses the same three pages: an explanation page, a practice page with explanation, and a case card where students apply the idea to the text. Lessons 1 to 6 follow the novel part by part, from Part I (Chapters 1–6) to Part VI (Chapters 28–34). Lesson 7 uses the map to work on setting and inference, and lesson 8 turns to persuasive and narrative writing. Seventeen chapter inquiry pages cover all 34 chapters, two chapters per page, and ask students to read the actual chapter and build evidence. Two vocabulary pages, a learning check, a short project with a record page and a reflection page complete the study. The full novel is not reproduced. A free primary-text link is provided, and students need access to the novel for chapter reading.
