Preposition Treasure Map

It’s your job to hide Pete the Preposition Pirate’s giant chest of treasure! But,
you don’t want to forget where you’ve hidden the bootie! To make sure that you
and your mateys can find the treasure again later, it’s your job to create a
treasure map showing where the loot is being stored. Be
careful, don’t make it too easy! You want time to save the
treasure in case the map falls into the wrong hands! Arg!

Directions: On a separate sheet of paper (any size, be creative!) you’re going to


create a treasure map showing the steps to Pete’s treasure chest. On the front of the paper, you’ll draw
the treasure map itself. On the back write a list of 10 sentences, which are the steps to finding the
treasure. They should be in the order someone would follow to find your treasure, and your drawing on
the front should show the 10 obstacles from your sentences. Connect the 10 sentence with a dotted
line, and put an “X” where the treasure is hidden.

In each of the sentences, you MUST do the following:

1. Underline the preposition


2. Write “o.p.” over the object of the preposition
3. Circle the whole prepositional phrase
4. Draw an arrow to the word that the phrase modifies
5. Write “adj” or “adv” over the arrow to show whether the prepositional phrase is acting
as an adjective phrase or an adverb phrase

Examples: Adv.
o.p
1. First, climb over the nasty fallen .log.

Adj.
o.p
2. Next, locate the tree with the huge, black knothole.
.

Scoring:
_____/50 for sentences (5 steps per sentence x 10 sentences)

_____/20 for map (must show each of the 10 steps, connected with a dotted line, with an “X” at the
end)

TOTAL: _____/70
