Other book units may be found at Each year I ask my students to vote on their favorite book of the school year. Hatchet is always at the top. From the first chapter students are excited about this book and moan when a chapter comes to an end. I hope your students will enjoy it as well. Over the years this unit has been added to and changed as new teaching standards have been introduced. The comprehension questions began as knowledge level multiple choice questions.

2 Later higher level thinking questions such as sequencing, main idea, plot development, summary, drawing conclusions, inference, predicting, theme, understanding vocabulary, interpreting literary devices, etc. were added. Now with the Common Core Standards, I have also added ten constructed response questions. Most of these questions have graphic organizers to help students plan a response. These questions also require students to verify answers with the text. This unit also contains lessons on story elements and figurative language . Gary Paulsen s writing is perfect for teaching these skills. This packet contains graphic organizers for an interactive notebook and game activities covering vocabulary, comprehension questions, Constructed Response writing, and skill practice.
