Theme

 Moral of the story

For the past 2 weeks we have been doing drama and reading mixed.  We are doing drama with Miss Clark and reading with Miss Birch.  In reading,  we have been looking at what the moral of the story is,  the theme.  Shelby and I have been doing the theme of Tangled.  Our DLO is a google slide.  Here is our slide.

I think next time I want to do a Roald Dahl book or David Walliams book because I like their books.  I think they should do a book together.

Do you like reading ? 

What type of books do you like reading ?

Roald Dahl

 BOY Tales Of Childhood

Today we picked a book to read in term 4 out of 3 choices.  The choices were,  Roald Dahl Boy Tales of Childhood,  Fleur Beale Playing To Win & Rodman Philbrick Freak The Mighty.  I picked Roald Dahls book because I find then interesting and not to easy.  We have to do 2 or 3 questions off this chart.

The 3 that I chose are....

Q: Read the blurb on the back.  Does this interest you?  Why/Why not?

A: Yes, This interests me. This interests me because I like anything books like david walliams. I like books what he and other authors write because they write them funny but also serious.

Q: I predict the book will be about...

A: I think this book will about the story of Roald Dahls life as a young boy or in his early 20s. I also predict this book will be about something funny, serious and possibly some mischievous work.

Q: What impression do you get from the front cover?  What can you infer about the book?

A: My impression I got from the cover is probably a weird, silly and crazy life. I really hope it is because that would make a awesome story

Do you like Roald Dahl books or David Williams better ?

Do you read silly, crazy books often ?

Blog ya later.

 The Gingerbread Man

Who is the protagonist ? 

Protagonist - ( The protagonist is usually the good guy,  the person you want to win.  The main character )

I think the protagonist in the story is the old lady and the old man because they story is mainly about them and how they are lonely,  Also how about how they were chasing the gingerbread man. 

Who is the antagonist ?

Antagonist - ( The person you don't want to win,  usually the bad guy.  The enemy of the Protagonist )

I think the antagonist is the gingerbread man because he's the bad guy running from the oven and running away from everyone so they had nothing good to eat.

What type of character do you think the Gingerbread Man is ? 

I think hes the Antagonist because he's not the whole main story and he's cheeky.  He's cheeky because he runs away from everyone.

We find out the old man and the old lady are really lonely, especially the lady because the old man is always out in the garden.  The old lady is always bored because all she does is cook and clean and after that she has nothing to do.  

The gingerbread mans actions show us he's fast,  he loves being cheeky. The gingerbread man seems cheeky from what we have read of him. I think he was actually scared of everyone that was running after him.  The three ways I would describe him is cheeky,  fast & a little bit dumb.
