The Sign of the Beaver Activities: Novel Study With Chapter Questions and Vocabulary, Grades 4-6

Description

These Sign of the Beaver activities for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade follow Elizabeth George Speare’s novel chapter by chapter. Use them with the whole class as an extended text, or with a small group for guided reading or book clubs.

I designed many of the activities around how I wanted to teach this particular book, like tracking what Matt and Attean learn from each other and how each conflict is resolved.
