Today in literacy we are working on our summarising skills. You will be summarising what you have read so far in our class novel, The Butterfly Lion. Remember in a summary, we do not write every single detail from each chapter. We focus on the main events by informing the reader of the key points.
The Dahl’s and Morpurgo’s will be summarising chapters 1 – 4 (which you should already have read). Then, these groups will complete a challenge, which is to think about the settings we have explored in the book so far. We will contrast the setting for chapter 1 and 2 against the setting for chapter 3 and 4.
The Blyton’s and Wilson’s will be summarising chapters 1 – 3 (which you should already have read). Then, your next task is to read chapter 4 (Bertie and the Lion), independently, with a family member or by reading along with the audio book.
