Oh my god, that was my favorite book in fifth grade! Yeah, I did draw a map of the island. Make sure you include the rope-guides that Phillip used, as well as the birds' nests.\nI love that book. I'll read it over the weekend, I think.

Hi! The name of the island suggests we should find the treasure using graphs! :)\n\nLet us assume first that point A lies on the west of point D. Consider the point A to be the origin. Thus point D will lie on the X-axis and the straight lines A-B and D-C would be parallel to Y-axis. Draw the graph on paper choosing an appropriate scale, say 1 cm=10 paces. In the solution, I'm finding the points as your REAL coordinates if you are on the island itself.\n\nWe've been given the distances BD, AC, AD; find the distances AB and DC using Pythagoras theorem. They come out to be 180 and 100 paces respectively. Since we took A to be the origin, the coordinates of point B are (0,180) and for C are (240,100). The coordinates of A and D are (0,0) and (240,0).\n\nHaving found the points B, D, A, C, we can now find the equation of the lines BD and AC using the Two-Point formula. They come out to be:\n\nline BD: y=(-3/4)x + 180\nline AC: y=(5/12)x\n\nThese two lines intersect at the point E. Find the point E by equating y in both cases. Then find 'x', and put it in any one equation to find 'y'. E comes out to: (1080/7,540/7).\n\nSince the road is the X-axis itself, the distance of E from the road is its' x-coordinate: 1080/7 paces ~= 154.28.\n\nHalf the distance from E to the road is 540/7 paces, approx 77.14 paces. So the treasure is buried at a distance of a little more than 77 paces and little less than 78 paces from point E towards the road.

I would make a border from paper dolls cut out from many different colors.  Then I would find pictures of groups of kids of varied ethnic groups working together.  I would cut out the word for "hello" or "friend" in several different languages.  In the middle or as a back drop I would have a lightened picture of the statue of liberty with the poem about "Give me your tired..." darkened and highlighted.  Thanks, this was fun!!!

You could get all sorts of suggestions from people on this question.  I could list a dozen right off the top of my head, but you probably wouldn't be interested in "the history of ship building".  \n\nYou should pick a book that you'd like to read.  Once you get a good story and characters filling your imagination, the art will come easier.  If you have an area of interest, you should re-post the question, asking about that area.  \n\ne.g. "I like sci-fi books,  I've read..., I have a library book competition, any suggestions for my next book?"

maybe a puzzle you cut out paper and conect them see if it works and maybe make it into a picture

Scholastic has one. Here is a link if you have not tried there yet.\nhttp://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonplans/bookfairs/currconnection/white_star.htm

How about an art activity?  Here are a few:\n\nCategory: Crayon resist Grade level: K - 3 \nProject Focus:  Magical Leprechaun Footprints\nIntegrated Subject:  Saint Patrick’s Day\nArt production:  Students will trace their shoes on a piece of paper.  They will fill the shoe outline with various crayon colors.  Then they will paint over the entire paper with green and white paint.  This creates a resist drawing.\nArt Criticism:  Students will be evaluated on their use of colors, materials, and on their overall effort.\nArt Aesthetics: The students will discuss their thoughts on their paintings.\n\n\nCategory:  WatercolorGrade level:  2 - 5\nProject Focus: Watercolor Butterflies\nIntegrated Subjects: Science\nArt production: Student will draw two butterflies and demonstrate the wet on wet technique on one and the wet on dry technique on the other.\nArt Criticism: Students will be evaluated on their use of the watercolors, how well they followed directions, and by their overall effort.\nArt Aesthetics: Students will discuss which technique they liked the best and why.  Also, they will have a discussion on which one gave them more control.\n\n\nCategory: WatercolorGrade Level: 1-6\nProject Focus: Sunsets \nIntegrated Subject: Science \nArt production: Students will create either a landscape or ocean scene by using oil crayons, stencils and watercolors, after which they will show and explain their work. \nArt Criticism: Students will be evaluated by being given an oral quiz on the vocabulary learned, and on their use of media and overall effort. \nArt Aesthetics: Students will discuss their finished works and give their reactions to them \nIntegrated Subject Vocabulary Words: Landscape, Sunset, Horizon\n\n\nYou may also want to check this out:\n\nhttp://funschool.com\nOn this website you can find printables for coloring, stickers, and a section about origami.  Children can play crossword puzzles and word searches.\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/learning\nThis site provides excellent web connections for teachers, students, and parents, and is helpful for incorporating current events into lessons

Please read the book instead of getting your answers online.  Seriously, open the book to Chapter 3 and find it yourself.  That's a new breed of lazy right there.

It's sort of like Simon Says.\nHere is one variation:\nAhoy Mateys! Welcome aboard the good ship ZOOM!\n\nThis game is for 4 or more players and should be played in an open area.\n\nOne player is the captain of the ship, and the rest of the players have to follow her orders.\n\nThe captain gives four commands. When she says "ship," players have to run to the right.\n\nWhen she says "deck," players have to run to the middle.\n\nWhen she says "shore," players have to run to the left.\n\nAnd when she says "hit the deck," players have to run to the middle and lie down on their stomachs.\n\nIf a player makes a mistake, he's out.\n\nThe last player left at the end is the winner.\n\nReady, set... bon voyage!

Ooh, they'e on battleon.com, AKA Adventure Quest.  There's this little island where the cousins of the Moglins live...they're a more primitive form, but I forget what they're called.

Try www.isketch.net (you don't have to register).  It's like an online version of Pictionary but you play against people from all over the world.  You take turns drawing and guessing.  Start with English (Easy)

Maybe a computer game. I just ordered one for my father in law that is called THe Ship and is a murder mystery.  You have to figure out who the murderer is.
