Last Loon Guided Reading Questions

 Guided Reading Questions: The Last Loon       by Rebecca Upjohn

Please read up to the point when you can answer a question.  You may need to read more than one chapter in a week.

 When Evan arrives at Aunt Mag’s, he views having to stay with her “in the wilderness” as a punishment.  What does he dislike “the wilderness”?  

How scary is it when you don’t know someone and you find out that you have to spend time with that person?  Have you ever had that experience? Explain.

Peter says on pg. 28, “Round here, jobs have no gender attached to them...” What  

    does Peter mean by that? Does that explain Aunt Mag’s reaction to Evan’s question?

4) Why was Evan so thrilled to receive a gift from his new friend Cedar? Do you think he  

    has changed his mind about what he thinks about the wilderness? Explain your     

    thinking.

5)  What does the verb “hesitated” mean?  Have you every hesitated about something? 

     When and where? Was it a good choice to have hesitated? Expain what happened.

6)    Why did Aunt Mag lose her temper and go to jail? Was it worth it? Please explain.

  From your perspective, why does it matter so much to Evan that the Loon survives? 

      Would you do the same? What would you do differently?

 In Chapter 10, Evan attempts to rescue the loon. Why does he try to rescue the loon 

      by himself? Explain your thinking.

  Why was Evan surprised to find out his Aunt Mag is actually a doctor; a scientist 

      with a PhD.? Explain why Evan acted so shocked.  

10 ) In Chapter 13, Evan says Aunt Mag looks at him like she can see inside him -   

      including both the good and the not-so-good.  Why does this make Evan feel 

      strange? Have you ever felt like someone can understand you the same way?
