5th Grade Guided Reading "A Stranger Came Ashore"


We are currently half way through the book, "A Stranger Came Ashore". I would like your thoughts on a few questions.

1. Is Finn Learson an evil man? (Why do you think this?)
2. If you were Elspeth, would you choose Nicol or Finn? (Why)
3. Why was Finn angry with Robbie after he pulled him into the boat?


Has reading this book changed your mind about reading? How?

  1. I love reading, this is one of the better books I have read so far. I have been able to predict what is happening so far. It will be interesting to see if the author will put in a twist.

  2. no because he dosent hurt people or kill them.All he wants to do is to impris everyone so probaly elspeth could like him.If I was elspeth I would probaly pick finn cause he's a handsome man and if I get marry with him I could be a rich girl.Finn probaly was mad at robbie cause he would have probaly gotten kill from the press gang.

  3. 1.I think Finn is not a evil person beacause he is impressing Peter and Elspeth.

    2.I will not chose Nicol because he gets mad so I will go with Finn.

    3.He got mad because Robbie was heading to the geo and touched the pups.

    4.Yes because books could be Adventures mystery.

  4. I think that Finn Learson is a nice guy. I would choose Finn because if he told me that I wouid be rich for the rest of my days I would go with him.Finn was angre at Robbie because he was out at the geo and he was trying to count the silkie pups.Yes because I thought that this book would be boring.

  5. NO,because he's helping them with growing crops.I would choose Finn because he's saving them from the press gang and he's being nice.Finn was angry Robbie because he was couting the pups.Yes because this is an interesting book and it gets better in every single chapter and that's what changed my mind.
