Description
Hatchet Student Worksheets
Worksheets include: plot, setting, characters and character traits, connections, essays, reflections, thought provoking questions, response to text, themes, five senses, predictions, rising/falling actions and climax, cause and effect, book marks, chapter trifold, story board, figurative speech, vocabulary by chapter, conflict resolution and more!
A great variety of survival websites, for kids, are also included.
These self explanatory, student worksheets are designed to encourage students to become actively engaged readers through conversation and collaboration with their peers in small groups.
Brainstorming and determining the best answers, as students cite information from the book, creates an atmosphere of higher level thinking. Analyzing text, as they build on each others' responses, and articulating their own ideas, help students become self directed learners.
As students cite information from the book, it creates lively discussions and an atmosphere that encourages better literal and inferential understanding of the story’s components. It also helps students, who have difficulty understanding text or composing answers, become better readers and writers.After students have brainstormed in small groups to determine the best answers, it's suggested their answers be reviewed with the whole group so they will have an even better and deeper understanding of the story.
The worksheets can also be used as class or homework assignments. If used as informal assessments it will help determine students’ strengths and weaknesses.
The majority of the activities are aligned with the Common Core.
