Island of the blue dolphins
By Scott o’Dell
AR Level: 5.4
Preparing your
notebook
ISBN-13: 978-0547328614
1. Number the pages of your notebook (front and back) up to page 7. It’s usually a good idea to skip the first page. It
gets so much wear and tear, it frequently tears out.
2. Page 1 will be the title page. Label it Island of the Blue Dolphins and draw a picture to go along with it.
3. The narrator describes the physical setting in detail throughout the book. If you purchased your own copy, every
time the setting is described, underline it or mark it in some way. If you are borrowing a book, use post-it notes or
take notes in your notebook. Be sure to write down the page numbers so you can find it later to create your own
map of the island on page 2.
4. Tape or glue a map of the Channel Islands on page 3.
5. Pages 5 will be your table of contents. Label the top of the page and as you add notes, complete activities, and
answer questions, add the page titles and numbers to your table of contents.
6. As you read you’ll notice the narrator frequently mentions animals. Keep a list of all the animals mentioned in the
story on page 6. Mark the page with a post-it note to find it easily later.
7. Go to the back of your notebook and count inward 5 pages. This will be your glossary. Add
words you find on the driftwood (like the piece in the right corner of this page) on
ily

each page to your glossary and look up the definitions—include

conference between enemies under
a truce.
4. Where are the Aleutian Islands from where the Russians
came? (Click on the name to the right of the map)
5. If you were in charge of the island, would you accept Captain Orlov’s offer? Why? Why
not?
6. The Aleuts were hunting sea otters. How are sea otters
unique among animals?

The island described by
Scott O’Dell.
The island where the real
Lone Woman lived.
The map on the right shows what the land under the ocean looks
like. The brown parts are land. The darker the color, the deeper
the water is in that particular part of the ocean. Can you see the
islands? This type of map is called a topographical relief map.
Chapters
2&3
1. Use Karana’s descriptions to draw the island on
page 2 of your notebook.
2. Why did the chief warn the villagers not to visit
the Aleut camp?
3. What good fortune came to the villagers?
4. Why did Karana become angry when she saw
hunters?
San Nicolas Island where the real “Lone Woman” lived.
5. For a long time, scientists thought sea otters were
extinct because they were hunted so much. Check
out this website for more info about the otters and
what happened to them. Where did they find sea
otters?
6. Why were the villagers concerned when they knew the Aleuts would soon leave the island?
7. Karana tells distances in leagues. Look up “league” and see how far it is in miles. Add it to your glossary.

Slunk is the past tense of slink. It
means to move about slowly and
usually in shame.
Watch this video to see how a spit
is formed. It’s on Youtube, so be
sure to ask your parent’s
permission first.
This is an image of Chumash people and their canoe.
They lived on the mainland near Karana’s island.
This is an example of a
seaweed basket. Karana
and Ramo would not have
taken the time to add
