This KS2 Kaspar Prince of Cats Chapter 9 Whole Class Guided Reading Pack includes differentiated questions and activities based on chapter 9 of the novel by Michael Morpurgo. In Chapter 9, Johnny and Mr Stanton are on the Titanic as it sinks. They are washed overboard by a large wave and are able to swim to a capsized lifeboat. They climb on top and wait to be rescued with several other men. While they wait, they have to turn people away from their lifeboat as it is too full and would sink if any more men climbed on board to safety. Johnny feels guilty for this but it saves his life. They are rescued by another boat and once on board, they search for Lizziebeth, Mrs Stanton and Kaspar.

Our questions are colour coded to ensure clear differentiation and we've included additional differentiated challenge tasks based upon adverbs, conjunctions, speech and word meanings.
