**Updated With Answer Key!** This packet is a study guide for Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (unabridged version). You will find a variety of assignments for your students, including:
*Pre-reading Internet Scavenger Hunt--to be used as an anticipatory set
*Chapter Notes Reading Guide--This is a 1-page template for students to fill out to take notes on/summarize the chapters. There are a variety of uses for this, from in-class reading, a homework sheet when assigning a chapter to read at home, for use in literature circles, and/or a general assessment of your student's comprehension. I don't usually assign this for every chapter, but on occasion to hold students accountable when they've been assigned independent reading. The teacher can photo copy as many of these sheets as necessary and have on hand to pass out to students.
*Character Counts--Chart that students fill out about character traits as they read the book. This is an ongoing assignment.
