Chapters 1-6 ~ Constructive Response – Characters (Answer Key)

Describe each member of Karana’s family.

•Ramo is Karana's younger brother. She is with him when the Aleuts come at the beginning of the novel. It appears that Karana is close to her brother.

•"Now that my father was gone, it was not easy to look after Ramo, who was always into some mischief."

Ramo

•Ulape is Karana's older sister. She is the person who notices the Aleut girl among the hunters. In Chapter 6, she playfully asks, 'What do they look like?' when referring to the white men that Kimki sent to take them off the island.

Ulape

•Karana's father was the chief of Ghalas-at until the negotiations with the Aleuts and Captain Orlov proved fatal for him. Karana felt this happened because he gave the captain his secret name.

Karana's father (Chief Chowig)

•"A few years ago my mother had died and since then Ulape and I had tried to do the tasks she had done, Ulape even more than I, being older."

Karana's mother

Chapter 11 ~ Constructive Response – Character’s Actions

Explain this quote from Chapter 11. How does this particular moment in Karana’s life change her attitude about her

situation?

I felt as if I had been gone a long time as I stood there looking down from the high rock. I was happy to be home. Everything I saw - the otter playing in the kelp, the rings of foam around the rocks guarding the harbor, the gulls flying, the tides moving past the sandspit - filled me with happiness.

Chapter 11 ~ Constructive Response – Character’s Actions (Responding to Text)

Explain this quote from Chapter 11. How does this particular moment in Karana’s life change her attitude about her

I felt as if I had been gone a long time as I stood there looking down from the high rock. I was happy to be home. Everything I saw - the otter playing in the kelp, the rings of foam around the rocks guarding the harbor, the gulls flying, the tides moving past the sandspit - filled me with happiness.

This is a turning point for Karana. Before she left the island, she was extremely lonely and her days centered around being rescued.

Karana now sees the island as her home.

Karana focuses on making a home for herself. Her energies are spent on making the best of her situation.

Karana loses the feeling of emptiness. She sees the animals as her friends, so she is no longer as lonely.

In this Book Unit Interactive Notebook Series [Note: This series is set up differently from my products that simply

say Book Units.] each unit will have seven sets of skill practice. Each practice will include one or more graphic organizers and an activity. The activities will not be worksheets as most of us have plenty of those, but will instead be a hands-on type of activity. Here is how it works:

Each unit will focus on two prefixes and two suffixes. Both graphic organizers and a practice activity will be

provided. The affixes selected will be different for each unit, so that nothing repeats.

Each unit will focus on two Greek or Latin root words. Graphic organizers as well as a practice activity will be included.

3) Each unit will practice with one or more of the following: figurative language, sound devices, idioms, proverbs, and/or adages. Each unit will include a set of response cards, graphic organizers, and practice

activity. Activities will be based on the writing style of the book’s author.

Each unit from this series will contain practice using context clues. Two types of organizers will be provides with this skill; one explaining many types of context clues -- definition, synonym, antonym, example, cause/effect, comparison, lists/series description, etc. plus a graphic organizer which focuses on just one type of context clue.

Cards containing multiple choice questions will be provided based on the book with a selection of game activities to use with the cards. The cards will change for each unit; however the games will remain the same. [Note: This

only refers to the context clues game activities. Activities for the other skills will change from unit to unit.]

5) Each unit will contain an organizer going over rules and a practice activity with a punctuation skill.

6) Each unit will contain practice with one part of speech.

7) Each unit will contain practice with synonyms, antonyms, homographs, and/or analogies.
