Mrs. DelMonaco’s Blog

We are currently reading Island of the Blue Dolphins, by Scott O’Dell. In addition to reading and discussing the novel in class, I’ll also be posting questions for you to answer on our class blog. Feel free to post any additional reactions, predictions or questions as you read.

I hope you all take time to read over our Spring Break. If you have a good book to recommend, please tell us about it. Post a brief summary about the book, but don’t give the ending away! Happy Reading!!

Early in the story, Billy’s father says, “There’s more to an education than just reading and writing.” How does this statement apply to Billy? Respond to this quote sharing whether or not you agree or disagree with Billy’s father. Support your ideas with examples.
