Narritive | The Gruffalo

A re-write story is changing half of the story but the same storyline.

There are three guiding questions that can help us change the story and they are where do they live, what's the Gruffalo's favourite food, and the location.

I changed the Mouse into a Meerkat because they are kind of the same.

Re-writing a story can help people think of creative ideas.

Making Connections

Here is how to make a connection. There are three conections. Text to text, text to self, and text to world.

Text to self is linked to what you do. For example: In the story of the Gruffalo the fox was a scardy cat. My connection was I am scared when it comes to fed my cousin's dog.

Text to Text is linked to whats in a book or a movie. For example: In the story of the Gruffalo the mouse travled the deep dark woods. My connection was in a book called I survived is about a boy who travled the woods at night when his little sister and his father are a sleep.

Text to world is a big theme that we would see around the world and what everybody does. For example: In the story of the Gruffalo the mouse dosen't have a place to live. My connection was homless people don't have houses.

Hazards and Risks

For inquiry we learnt how to assess risks.

First we rated situations on risk levels like low, likely, possible, inpossible, elevated, and extreme. For example: The situation "using a lighter to check if the lawnmower has petrol" is an a extreme risk.

Next we wrote down three situations for each risk level and what might be the consequences.

I learnt how to use commen sense in risky situations and how to practise saftey to avoid danger.

Multiplication

Multiplication is a faster way to count the same number. For example 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 is counting 9 nine times, so 9 x 9 = 81.

Here are the slides that show the 7 and 9 times tables.
