Literacy
Reading:
Use your reading books for this week to complete a reading task from the strategies we use in class:
- Prior Knowledge – What do I already know about this book? What has happened already?
- Visualisation – Create a beginning, middle and end comic strip of your chapter.
- Metalinguistics – Note down any tricky words, then use our strategies to figure out the meaning.
- Inference – Ask and answer three inferential questions about your book – Remember inference is when we use the clues to help us work out the meaning.
- Main Ideas – What is the main theme or feeling from this chapter of your book? Use quotations from your book to use as evidence.
- Summarising – Use 5 sentences to summarise what has happened in the chapters of your book.
