Mini-Guide for Juniors: The Door in the Wall Interactive

This is a mini-guide (a two-week study) for the book titled, by Marguerite de Angeli. In this book set in the Middle Ages, Robin discovers that -- despite handicaps -- he is able to serve his country.

The mini-guide contains:

• vocabulary activities
• discussion questions
• reading activities – Students will learn about: the Newbery Medal, implicit and explicit theme, alliteration, plants, simile, repetition, and onomatopoeia. Students will: read background information, match people with their gaits, add alliterative words to a chart, fill in a “sense” chart, compare/contrast, identify synonyms/antonyms, locate examples of personification, predict, and complete a review puzzle.
• related activities
• life applications/Bible
• writing activities
• a crossword puzzle
• an answer key
• activities that are able to be used as assessments

This is an interactive guide that enables parents/teachers to facilitate an oral discussion of the book, but it only provides space for one student to complete fill-in-the-blank activities. If you are interested in using the guide with more than one student, check out the options:

NOTES:

1) When you purchase one set of reproducibles, you have permission to make a copy for each of your students.

2) The reproducibles are intended to be used with the mini-guide, so an Answer Key is not provided; the answers for the activities on the reproducibles are found at the end of the mini-guide.

2. The guide is also available in workbook format (you do not need reproducibles if you purchase the guide in workbook format):
