Captain Long John Silver himself would consider this anticipation guide a treasure. Full of rereading predictions for readers to consider, the anticipation guide makes the class excited to begin reading Robert Lois Stevenson's Treasure Island. After completing the guide, the class collaboratively discusses the the choices pupils made in their small groups. The guide includes a rationale page and answer key.  Shiver me timbers, it's one good resource!
