This was a quick formative assessment strategy that gave me insight about students and their background knowledge about castles and knights. It also showed me which students were comfortable with making predictions about a story.
When Sir Simon is fooled by a mirage in the forest, William is left to continue the journey on his own. Using his wits and the tools in his backpack, he makes it safely through the forest and to the castle. William successfully battles the dragon guarding the castle and applies for a job entertaining Alastor. In the castle gallery, William sees people, including Sir Simon, who have been turned into metal statues by Alastor. To do this, Alastor used a token to put a spell on them.
After a celebratory feast, William returns home. Elinore is waiting in the castle. They leave the castle together, turn each other back to their normal size and walk to the bus station. Elinore keeps the metal statue of Alastor and the token. William returns home for dinner with his father.
Sir Simon chides William for deceiving Elinore. He affirms William when William is polite, respectful, makes good choices and shows courage. He gives William discreet guidance about the decision to shrink himself and come into the castle, but also gives him time to think and make the decision on his own. Sir Simon is gentle toward Elinore after William shrinks her, noticing that she is tired and surprised. Sir Simon physically helps her into the castle and then shows her around as the host. He gives her the master bedroom and sleeps downstairs where he can guard the fire.
William is given a realistic model of a castle by his family's English housekeeper, Mrs. Phillips, who tells him that it has been in her family for many many years and that its toy silver knight (made of lead) is said to be under a spell. The knight, Sir Simon, comes to life and tells William stories about olden times and an evil wizard who is ruling his kingdom. Desperate to stop Mrs. Phillips from going away, William has Sir Simon shrink her with a magic token he stole from the wizard, Alastor. However, William and Sir Simon lack the ability to return Mrs. Phillips to her true size as the half of the token that can do so is with Alastor, and Mrs. Phillips falls into a depression. Learning of a legend that states that when there is a lady, a knight, and a squire, a quest can be undertaken to stop Alastor, William decides to become a squire to undo his mistake. As he will be shrunk willingly, he will return to his world at the exact moment he left, but Mrs. Phillips will lose all the time she spent in the castle until William enters. William has Sir Simon shrink him and he enters the castle to join his two friends.
Mrs. Phillips and Sir Simon spend a week training him before Sir Simon and William leave, exiting the castle in Sir Simon's time. While traveling through a magical forest, Sir Simon is tempted by the apparition of his old horse Moonlight, leaves the path and disappears, after having warned William that doing just that will cause one to get lost forever. William manages to make it through the forest on his own and encounters an old man at an apple tree. After getting a specific apple for him, the old man reverts into a young man and reveals he was under a spell. In gratitude for William's actions, the man, Dick, reveals how to defeat the dragon guarding Alastor's castle. William defeats the dragon and uses the pretext of a fool seeking work to enter the castle, with the guards hiding the secret that he defeated the dragon to enter. Alastor accepts him as his fool and reveals to William's horror that he has defeated Sir Simon again and turned him to lead, keeping him in a gallery with his other victims. However, he also turned to lead Dick's son, a young boy named Tolliver William encountered, and thus believes he has defeated the threat from the legend, not knowing it's really William.
William learns from Sir Simon's old nurse, Calendar, that he needs to get Alastor's necklace with his tokens on it and defeat his mirror that reflects what's inside of you. When Alastor shows up, William knocks him down with his gymnastic abilities, gets the necklace, and faces his own fears in the mirror. He then turns it on Alastor, who cowers from it. Calendar uses the lead token to turn Alastor into lead and send him away, defeating him and breaking all of his spells but the lead spell. William is hailed as a hero and the new ruler of the kingdom, but he instead revives Sir Simon and the rest of the lead victims so that Sir Simon can regain his rightful place as ruler. William returns to the castle in the attic with the other half of the token and he and Mrs. Phillips return to their right sizes. She leaves, taking with her the token and Alastor who was sent to the castle, planning to drop both into the ocean.
Jennifer Hadlock writing for Teacher Link said "This book can be used effectively to teach a unit on the Middle Ages. It is a great book for teaching about the architecture of the time period with its descriptions of castles and the surrounding territory. The issue of how an effective ruler should govern the country, as well as the rules which govern society, can be taught. The book also has an underlying theme of overcoming fears so this would also be good to address".[3]
You have also shared with me some of your varied and exciting ideas about teaching my CASTLE books in the classroom. Some of you have sent me photographs of the castles your students have built or the costumes they wore on Medieval Day or the skits they put on in their classrooms. It is both thrilling and humbling for a writer to learn in detail how her book has inspired such enthusiasm and creativity and energy.
The Castle in the Attic is a fantasy novel for middle-grade readers by Elizabeth Winthrop. Published in 1985, it tells the story of a young boy whose toy castle comes to life and draws him into a heroic adventure in which he must rescue his own nanny from a mistake he made.

The Castle Attic is a supposedly hidden and anomalous floor of Princess Peach's Castle, located above the Fourth Floor. While most copies of Super Mario 64 depict the castle with only three floors, some extremely personalised and anomalous copies depict it with more. These rare exceptions are either a fourth floor or an extension to the second floor. However, an attic can sometimes appear above the fourth. It is accessed by clipping into a specific wall of one of the hallways on the fourth floor.
The Castle Attic's set appearance is unknown, as those who encounter it describe it differently to others. This is likely a result of the multiple appearances and shifting changes in the castle's layout caused by the A.I
The most common depiction of the Castle Attic is a large and open area with multiple rooms and branching hallways similar to the fourth floor. The floor consists of a differently coloured wall texture and multiple new paintings but only three courses. Others depict the room as a typical, stereotypical attic with wooden walls and being much smaller.

This is a quest fantasy with the added fillip of miniaturization. Mrs. Phillips, William's governess and friend since the day he was born, is leaving the household to return to her home and family in England. As a parting gift, she presents William with a detailed and wonderful miniature castle which was her childhood toy. She also gives him the Silver Knight with instructions to meet him "on his own". The miniature knight, Sir Simon, is alive and enlists William in his fight to regain his kingdom. To keep Mrs. Phillips from leaving him, William miniaturizes her with a medal which Sir Simon had wrested from Alastor, the wizard who robbed him of his kingdom. William must, in turn, be made small to help Sir Simon win back his kingdom and to regain the respect of Mrs. Phillips. He defeats Alastor by using his own inner strengths and returns to restore Mrs. Phillips to her rightful size (and she returns the favor). They bid each other a fond farewell with Mrs. Phillips aware that her job of raising William is done and with William newly aware of his skills.
- Could the theme of the book be Sir Simon's words, "The weapons you need to fight the battle are inside your own heart?" Can you find other statements which might be the theme?
- Some of the rules of chivalry that Sir Simon teaches William are proved within the story. Which ones did the author use for her plot?

- What objects are passed on in your family?
- What could have been the jobs of the people made into lead?
- What happened to the other knights? How did this one happen to survive?
- For something to ponder: Why doesn't Mrs. Phillips' touch bring wizard to life? Will another's touch bring him to life? Is it because she's an adult? Is it that only one person can bring them to life the way there is only one person who can remove the sword from the stone?
- She says "That's all I ever was. Your spotter." Does she mean just in gymnastics?
Activities- It is said that a good fantasy is one in which the story is very believable once you have accepted a few rules of magic or fantasy which operate within the plot. Other than that, the story should be quite realistic. In this book, Mrs. Phillips says, "There are rules in the world of magic just as there are in our own world. Everything has its place. Directions must be followed. Each person is given the right weapon." Prove the truth of her statement using details from this story.
