Writing Connection
Have children write a story about living in a castle from the point of view of a person from the Middle Ages. Alternatively, they can write a factual paragraph about castles using the book and any other resources they find. For this exercise, use the comprehension worksheet.
Social Studies Connection
Have children break into groups of three or four. Have them do research on castles online or at the library. They can research the history, castle life, or the castles that are being lived in today. Have them write notes on what they find to share with the class.
Reading Independently
Have children read the book independently or with a partner. You can also encourage them to read other books of their choice at the appropriate level.
Home Connection
Have children take their books home and share what they have learned with a family member. Have them share what they wrote about castles with their family members.
