Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Kidnapped is Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel about David Balfour, an orphan in 1751 who is cheated by his uncle, kidnapped onto a ship and thrown together with the Highlander Alan Breck Stewart. There are 10 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Students climb the dark tower stair, meet Alan in the fog, follow the quarrel in the heather and read the closing passage at Corstorphine. Other sheets compare Chapter XX with a stage script and study Stevenson's poem In the Highlands.
