Novel Study :
Parvana's Journey by Deborah Ellis

The following is a workbook of activities based on the novel named above. Several activities have been found and adapted from other wikis on the web and I thank all the generous teachers who put their work in the public domain so we could benefit too. I have added some changes and extra bits and I hope you will enjoy working through the tasks and learn some things I would like you to know.

The idea of this booklet is for you to work at your own pace and do some work in class and some for homework. Some activities are based at lower curriculum levels than others and most have the potential to allow you to achieve anywhere from Level 2 to Level 6 of the curriculum. When your book is fully completed I will give you a final grade but you can hand in any part of it for checking along the way.

The due date for the completion of all tasks is the last day of Term 2. If you forget your booklet at school , you can do the work by accessing this wiki and copying the page you need to work on to a word document, saving it and sending it to me via email.
