15 CommentsBy Lostcheerio on Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 7:25 PM.
Hiya! Are you visiting for the first time? Nice to meet you! Why not tune in to my feed, or take a peek at my Tumblr, or check out the Idea Box for more interesting lessons and songs? Now... on to your regularly scheduled Treasure Island Unit Study:
It's here! The Treasure Island unit study you've been staying up nights longing for! Ready to download and use in your homeschool family, your co-op, or even your regular old classroom! Get out your eye patch and saw off your leg -- it's time to launch the Hispaniola and go search for Captain Flint's lost cache of Spanish gold! Since the book itself is so full of pirates being skewered and shot in their pursuit of financial gain, I'm giving away the lessons for free. Free is the new ARRRRRGHHHH!
This printable 35-page PDF includes twelve lessons to take you and your student through Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. You'll learn ancillary skills like boxing the compass, reading signal flags, and telling time with ship's bells. Write your own pirate story, make an oilskin treasure map, and learn the songs from the novel. Six vocabulary worksheets, one for each section of the book, introduce nautical terms like hawser and capstan along with regular old words like incongruous and dexterity. Click the cover page to get the PDF. No charge.
Download the entire class now as a PDF! Treasure Island Seminar Or, you can visit the page I created for the parents to download materials as they were coming out, week by week. There you will find individual pages and worksheets. Note: The old versions have been updated and are now new and improved, so if you download the individual pages, you are not getting the latest version! I recommend downloading the full thing.

Remarkable creativity, intelligence, and also, generosity in evidence here.
This is great!! We tried to read it last year and it was too hard for our boys. We ought to try again sometime this year! I've bookmarked this for "later," so please don't delete your post! :]
Awesome! Thank you so much! You are a gem!
We haven't read Treasure Island, yet.
Thanks for making this available.
I found you at The Erskine Family

Hi Pamela! Welcome to the blog. :) If you like, I can try sending you an email with the PDF attached. I also don't mind sending you the Publisher file. Let me know your email address and I'll send it along.

This is pure awesome. Thank you for making this resource available! My 7 year old has read Treasure Island Twice, and I've read it to her once. It's one of her favorite books. Now we're going to go through it again, but with your resource guide. Very exciting!
I just started a blog myself (www.torcountry.com), which will include homeschool stuff in the mix, and your work on this inspires me to do something similar. Thank you!
I wanted to download this so badly. We will be starting to read Treasure Island in October and this study guide looked perfect for our family. However, when I tried to download it from freebieoftheday I also got errors that the file was damaged and the file wouldn't open. Additionally, when I tried to download it from here the same thing happened. I don't know if it's allowed or not, but if there is anyway someone could email it to me I would be eternally grateful.
wow! Thank you so much for putting all of this together and posting it! My son picked up Treasure Island at our library's used book sale on Friday and read the whole book that same day. He's totally in love with it. It will be so much fun to add this to our homeschool day! (I tried to download it from Homeschool Freebie of the Day on Friday but I kept getting errors)
Thanks again!
Thank you! Saving this for future use.
Excellent resource. Please add my e-mail address to get your blog. Susan steveac@bellsouth.net
Glad to have found you from Homeschool Freebieoftheday! Thanks for your creative work shared for free! This will be a wonderful unit study - even for my girls!
Thank you ~ I was just trying to decide a subject for a two week unit study that we are planning on starting next week. This is great ~ I already own a couple copies (with different illustrators) of Treasure Island, but we have never read it! This will be our study!! I'm really excited! Can I ask where did you get the instructions for the ships that the boys were making in the picture? I would love to do that with my kids. If you wouldn't mind sharing the directions or link with directions to make this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

Thanks so much for offering this. :) I am a homeschooling mom too, and I am always glad to find fun resources like this one to use with my kids. I learned about this from Homeschool Radio Shows.
Here from Homeschool Freebie of the Day. Thanks so much for sharing your hard work!
