Bridge to Terabithia Summary Activity

Dear Students,

After 9 months, we have finished reading together “Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Paterson.  Instead of a test, I have created an activity book for you to do.  All parts of the book need to be completed.  You will be marked on some of the tasks.

Table of Activities

1.  The setting of the book – Rural America

3.  Relationships

4.  Comparing the book and the movie

5.  Your reflection of the book

The Setting – Urban America

The setting of this book is Lark Creek, Virginia.

We talked a lot about rural America. Here are two puzzles with pictures of such a setting. Let’s see how quickly you can finish them. Record your time on the board.

We have now watched the movie and read the book of Bridge to Terabithia.

Using the cork board on the next page, write down:
