If you were stranded on a deserted island, what book would you want with you? Robinson Crusoe of course! During his years stuck on an island, Crusoe learns to survive by making a canoe, finding food, and living in solitude. Scholars read about his adventures on the island as well as complete comprehension questions, create alliterations, and make a list of things they would take with them to a deserted island.
