This resource gets students to think about possible meanings for unfamiliar words and encourages calculated guesswork, through an excerpt taken from Robert Louis Stevenson's Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.

The activity involves choosing words to fill in gaps and gets students to consider the function of the words to complete the sentences.

Designed to build students' confidence in tackling unseen 19th-century texts, this resource is suitable for Key Stage 3 students who are new to critical analysis of text extracts or Key Stage 4 students who require more support.
