SSR Selfie is a can-do activity that encourages readers to retell a story that they have read, and using detail in their summaries so that the audience can understand and find interest in that certain book.
This week, I have done my SSR Selfie activity on a book called 'Esio Trot' by Roald Dahl. It is about a man named Mr Hoppy who wants to win the heart of Mrs Silver. Mrs Silver wants her tortoise to grow bigger, and that gives Mr Hoppy an idea.
To find out what happens next in this book, you can find it in our school library under DAH because they are the first three letters of the authors last name.
LI: to summarise and retell a story.
Kia Ora Bella,
ReplyDeleteI think the book is interesting, and I would like to read this book. Why do you think Mr Hoppy is swapping the turtles with another?
Hello Chisa,
DeleteThank you for the kind feedback. I think Mr Hoppy is swapping the tortoises so that Mrs Silver doesn't realize "Alfie" is growing slowly. Do you think you could tell if someone or something was growing? How would you tell?
Kia Ora Bella,
DeleteThank you for commenting back. I think I can tell something or someone is growing by measuring their height with a ruler. Or by comparing them to something else which doesn't change in height. How long do you think it takes to grow a tree, and why do you think that?
