Kia Ora everybody!
Welcome back to my blog. For today's blog, it's going to be about Drama and Reading in Hurumanu 2.
We started off with searching a character, then we need a pen and a paper, we have to draw a triangle that looks like a mountain and a curve line in the middle.
At the top, we have to write what the character's do or tell something about them. Then at the bottom, we have to write all the emotions that the character is feeling.
After we've done those. We move on to another work. There is a photo, and underneath it there will be some questions that we have to answer about the photo.
The title of the photo that I did is "About The Sky". Here's my work:
Then we showed it to the teachers. Then the last thing we have to do is the Inference. It's quite similar but there is no photo, it's a sentence. There will be a sentence telling the story. Then underneath it, there are some questions that we need to answer. There are 4 different story's.
Do you know what Inference means? If you don't know, here is an explanation of what Inference means.
Inference meaning: The meaning of the Inference is like applying the unfamiliar word and the familiar word and combined them together to make new words.
Here is my work:
Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning. On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was “presentable,” as Alice had often said.
1. What type of job does Paul do? How do you know?
2. Describe Alice. What in the text supports your description?
3. What relationship does Paul and Alice have? Why do you feel this way?

Crack! Thunderstruck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, “There, there, Max. We’ll just find something else to do.” She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, “I don’t wanna sand-mich!” A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.
Why is Max upset? How do you know this?
What was Mom planning on doing today? What in the texts supports your description?

“Tommy!” Mom called out as she walked in the front door. “Tommy,” she continued shouting, “I sure could use some help with these groceries. There was still no reply. Mom walked into the kitchen to put the grocery bags down on the counter when she noticed shattered glass from the picture window all over the living room floor and a baseball not far from there. “I’m going to kill you, Tommy!” Mom yelled to herself as she realized that Tommy’s shoes were gone.
What happened to the window? How do you know?
Why did Tommy leave? What in the text supports your description?

Today was a special day in Ms. Smith’s class. Some of the children were walking around the room, some of them were standing in small groups, and some of them were at their desks, putting finishing touches on cardboard mailboxes. After coloring a cool flame on the side of his race car mailbox, Johnny hopped off his chair, strutted over to Veronica’s desk, and dropped a small white envelope into her princess castle mailbox. Veronica blushed and played with her hair. While this was happening, Bartleby was frantically trying to put a small white envelope into everyone’s mailbox. After giving one to Ms. Smith, Bartleby pulled out a medium-sized red envelope from his pocket. He blushed and tried to put it in Veronica’s mailbox, but it wouldn’t quite fit. Bartleby struggled with it for a few seconds and then ran off with the envelope. Veronica rolled her eyes and popped her gum.
Why is today a special day? What in the text supports your ideas?
Which boy does Veronica like? What in the text supports your ideas?
Why did Bartleby run? What in the text supports your ideas?
