Summer Read: Island of the Blue Dolphins Part Two


My prediction was correct.  Her canoe started to leak and sadly she had to turn back.  But now she is making a house.  One of my favorite things to do as I read this book is to try to picture in my head what the places look like.  She talks about how she builds things, like the fence to protect her food, and I try to imagine it in my mind.  Sometimes it’s hard, because these items would be so different from what we are used to.  I try my best, because good readers use visualization, making pictures in their heads, to understand the text.  

Check out this picture I drew of what I think Karana's house looks like!
