Did I Understand? (Comprehension Questions) 1. What was the first thing Koro hauled into the boat? 2. What did it mean, “there was nothing gentle about the fish”? 3. How long did the tug of war go on for? 4. Why does Koro call tāmure ‘pannies’? 5. When was the net used? 6. Why did the boy say, “but I still managed a grin from ear to ear”? 7. Explain how letting the fish go was a good thing? What’s the Question? (You write the question to the answer given below) 1. ...is like a plum tree 2. Ten minutes 3. My clenched fists into the air Chunking Try to find 5 words from the journal that you can “Chunk” or split, so one word makes two words. E.g, Sometimes = some + times. Syllables Write down 2 words from the journal that has 1 syllable, 2 words that have 2 syllables, and 2 words with more than 2 syllables, E.g, sometimes= some /times, Situation=sit/u/a/tion etc. My Thesaurus : Synonyms/Antonyms Choose 5 words from the story/play/article and write the following for EACH word chosen. Synonym = a word which has a similar meaning. E.g, Hot = Boiling. Antonym=another word which is the opposite of the word chosen. E.g, Hot = Cold. You may also like to do this as a Pictionary (drawing a picture of the similar/opposite meaning of the word). Who Am I? Choose any one of the characters in the journal and do a mini profile on them. This needs to include as much information about that character that you found in the journal. All Mixed Up Using a sentence from the journal, make up your own mixed up/jumbled sentence where someone has to try to put the sentence in order so it makes sense. Remember to include the answer as well. Picture Cues: Find the answers to these questions using the pictures in the story/article/play. 1. What colour was the boy’s cap? 2. What page are the seagulls on? 3. What colour is the boat? Odd 1 Out Which is the odd one out? Remember to justify your answer by saying why you think it is the odd one out. Activities: Choose one of the below (or your teacher will tell you which one to do) in relation to the story/article/ play. A few possibilities include: Mini Pictionary/Dictionary, Cartoon Drawing or similar, Junior Big Book, Redesign the Journal Cover Page, Model / Puppet / Mobile / Craft etc, Wordfind / Crossword, Teacher Choice, Your Choice, Mini Booklet, Oral Retell/ storytelling to the class, Sketch/diagram, Poster, Song, Title Page, Make up your own Journal/Reading Contract, Make up a Question and Answer type quiz, Audio Book, Presentation, Advert/TV Review, Mini Fact File. Word Study Write and/or draw meanings for these words. 1. Tāmure 2. Depths 3. Tenderly 4. Mokopuna How Many? How many of the following are in the story/article/play? 1. Smaller fish are there on page 17? 2. Black buckles are there on their life jackets? 3. Māori words are in the glossary? Theme Words Decide on a theme from the story/article/play you are reading (such as fishing). Then write down as many words from your story/article/play which are related to the theme. What Am I? Choose any inanimate object (such as a chair etc- something that is not alive), and using descriptive language, try and make it come alive in a way where others have to try and guess what it is. Remember to include the answer. You may also like to illustrate your object.
