The Stevenson Trilogy Parent Manual

The Stevenson Trilogy contains three of Robert Louis Stevenson’s most beloved novels: Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Each book is reproduced in its entirety and includes Michael Clay Thompson’s “language illustrations”—close-ups of poetic techniques, four-level analyses of interesting grammar, and comments about writing strategies. Challenging vocabulary is defined at the bottom of each page. The combination of those devices makes these novels perfect companions to his MCT language arts curriculum, which contains grammar, vocabulary, writing, and poetics strands.

The parent manual includes an essay written by Michael about Robert Louis Stevenson, vocabulary words to study in advance of the readings, a short essay by Michael about each novel, language illustration questions, quotations for quote quizzes, discussion questions and activities, and suggestions for academic writing practice.
