The Adventure Heats Up on Treasure Island

We reviewed the action that took place in chapters 20 and 21 and then read about Jim’s adventure cutting lose the Hispaniola. The excitement was tremendous! We left Jim asleep in Ben Gunn’s little corscle dreaming of home and the old “Admiral Benbow.” Will the sea be his death or will Jim continue the adventure on Treasure Island? What do you think?

The root word test was taken for the second time this week and everyone was reminded that DLW sentences and study guides through chapter 23 are due tomorrow.

Oh, I almost forgot, four of our crew Jolly Rogers have been completed and hung in the classroom. It’s beginning to look a lot like pirate around here.
