Stone Fox Summary | LoveToTeach.org

Hi guys! Today I wanted to share with you some of the activities that we did to go along with the book Stone Fox. My son really enjoyed this book and all the activities we worked on. He worked on character traits about the main character. He had to pick three traits and provide evidence from the book. He wrote an advice letter to Willy. He was so sweet he wrote "believe in yourself and you can do it! Your grandfather is counting on you now hurry and win that race." He compared the chores he does at home to all of Willy's responsibility on the farm We also compared Stone Fox and Little Willy Using information in the book he created a dogsled race poster. After doing some research online we discovered that the first race in Jackson, Wyoming was in 1932 and evidence from the book we came up with February 1, 1952 as the race date. The rest of the information is on chapter 5 and 6. As he read the story we added to the story map. This really helped him in writing his story summary. We worked on a lot more but this is what I managed to capture. Have you or your kids ever read this book?

Pin It Now! I recently read Stone Fox and wrote study questions and activity ideas for my fifth grade daughter. I choked up at the ending just like I did when I read it in elementary school so long ago. It really is a great book -- I highly recommend it! (Age range: 7-11) *For this book, I had my daughter read the whole thing before I gave her the questions. It's only 83 pages, so it didn't take that long. I didn't want her to read through the questions, especially since I didn't do them by chapter this time, and spoil the ending. *I wrote these questions with my 10-year-old in mind, so you may need to adjust some of them for younger children. My daughter completed all three additional activities, and for #2 she chose to write about Samoyeds which was no surprise to me since she LOVES all things dog! (Scroll down for printable link to study questions.) Stone Fox Study Questions 1. Describe Little Willy’s grandfather and make sure to include his occupation. 2. What do you think is wrong with Willy’s grandfather? 3. Who is the protagonist? By the end of the first chapter, what’s the main thing the protagonist wants? (If you don’t know what a protagonist is, look it up!) 4. In chapter 2, how does the protagonist go about accomplishing what he wants? 5. What is Little Willy’s discovery? 6. Why did Willy think his grandfather was sad about money problems? 7. Little Willy is forced into taking care of himself and his grandfather—what are some of his responsibilities? 8. If you were suddenly on your own, what would some of your responsibilities be, and how would you accomplish them? 9. Describe Searchlight. What is her role in the story? 10. Tell about the stranger who showed up at the farm. Why did he come? 11. After Willy realizes the farm could be taken away, how does he try to find a way to help? Be thorough—retrace Willy’s steps in chapter 5. End your answer with what Willy finally thinks is the way to save the farm. 12. Do people encourage or discourage Willy from entering the race? How so? 13. Write a short paragraph describing Stone Fox. 14. Why do you think Willy lied about his black eye? Do you think he should have told the truth? Why or why not? 15. Do you think everyone in the town showed up at the race to see Willy or Stone Fox? Give reasons to support your answer. 16. The first time you read the book, who did you think would win the race? Why? Were you surprised by the ending? Why or why not? 17. Why do you think Stone Fox let Willy and Searchlight win the race? 18. Do you think Stone Fox would have let Willy win had Searchlight not collapsed? Explain your answer. Additional Activities 1. On a separate sheet of paper, write a narrative prompt about one of your grandparents. Be sure to include vivid descriptions about things like looks, job, likes/dislikes, where he or she lives, etc. Also tell about what makes him or her special and what kinds of things you like to do together. 2. (a) Write a short expository essay on why Little Willy is a character who shows great courage. Use examples from the book. Be creative and make sure to grab the reader with your first sentence! The first sentence should make the reader feel curiosity, humor, wonder, sympathy, mystery, fear, sorrow, anger etc. Suggestions for creating a great first sentence: Use a quote, a rhetorical question, a shocking or mysterious statement, onomatopoeia, an opinion, a scenario type statement starting with the words, Picture this:, etc. Make sure your essay has a beginning, middle, and ending. (b) OR research Samoyeds, the dogs Stone Fox owned, and write a short paper about them. 3. Wyoming Project: Use poster board or sturdy construction paper to cut out the shape of Wyoming. Use sticker letters or write neatly the name of the state. On your poster board state, draw or cut out and paste pictures of the state flag, state bird, state flower, state tree, important crops, landmarks, and anything else you can think of. Be sure to label all of your pictures. Mark with a star and label where the capital is. Also include somewhere on your state of Wyoming the state nickname and the year it became a state. Do your best to make your project neat and colorful! Click on link to download Stone Fox study questions. Here's my daughter's Wyoming project. It was definitely an easy state to cut out! :) Hope you enjoy the book, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Give your students a literary experience they won't forget! Escape Rooms have become all the rage…and for good reason! They are highly-engaging activities that allow students to deepen their understanding of content. It’s a win-win situation for all! This ESCAPE ROOM is designed to be used after reading the novel Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner. It assesses students’ knowledge of major story events (Task #1), characters (Task #2), vocabulary (Task #3), and theme (Task #4 with the Quote Reflection) through the use of 4 coded stations. This product also allows students to reflect on themselves as learners (Escape Room Reflection). This Escape Room can be used after a whole class read (or read aloud), novel study, or even independent reading. The beauty of an Escape Room is that students work collaboratively to solve puzzles; however, it could be completed by individual students as well. How It Works: → Station 1: Students sort through Plot Cards to determine which events actually occurred in the text and put them in plot order. Doing so will reveal a hidden code. → Station 2: Students match characters to distinct character descriptions to reveal a hidden code. → Station 3: Students match vocabulary words extracted from the text to their respective definitions in order to reveal a hidden code. → Station 4: Retrieving clues from the previous stations, students work to decipher a secret message related to the text. If this is your first time implementing an Escape Room, rest assured that my goal is to make this as painless as possible! As such, I have included VERY detailed teacher guides to walk you through every step of the process. This Comprehensive ESCAPE ROOM Product Contains: → background information on the novel, Stone Fox → a 3-page, step-by-step How-It Works Teacher Guide → a 3-page Station Details: Teacher Guide → a Frequently Asked Questions tip sheet → Station Set-Up Instructions → an Escape Room Print Checklist → an Escape Room Student/Group Completion Checklist → a Certificate of Achievement for students → 4 Station Signs → 4 Clue Card Envelopes → 4 pages of Clue Cards → Task Card Directions → a Student Answer Book → an Answer Key → 2 Different Student Reflection Sheets I hope your kids enjoy working with it as much as I loved creating it! ♥ Click here for a NOTICE AND NOTE SIGNPOST NOVEL STUDY for this novel.
