Choose one or more of the following activities to complete and share on your blog.
1. Story Starter!
Have you ever wondered what causes the waves in the ocean?
Sometimes in life, things are not as they seem.
Footsteps could be heard in the distance. Not careful, quiet footsteps, like those someone like you might make as you move about your living room. No. These footsteps were different: they shook the very earth with every colossal stride. He was coming…
2. Sentence challenge!
Can you describe the sounds that the giant’s footsteps might cause?
Can you make a list of different sounds?
Can you start a sentence with one of those sounds?
E.g. Thud! Thud! Thud! The enormous feet waded easily through the ocean.
3. Question time!
- What causes the waves in the ocean?
- What causes the waves in the ocean according to this story?
- Whose footsteps can be heard?
- How do you know the footsteps are not those of a human?
- What happens each time the giant foot hits the ground?
- Has the giant been noticed by anyone?
- How would the world be different if giants existed alongside us?
- What else might the giant have left behind, apart from a cup of coffee?
4. Sick sentences!
These sentences are ‘sick’ and need your help to get better. Can you help?
- Someone walked through the sea.
- They were big, and had big footsteps.
- They caused waves.
5. Perfect picture!
Can you draw a picture of the thing responsible for these enormous footsteps?

ReplyDeleteI like your story starters and perfect picture. This is really helpful.
But what do you mean by sick sentences and the white and green together are hard to read.
Otherwise good job.`````

Kia ora my name is Rian from Karoro School. The questions were very interesting. It was also funny at the same time as the cup is so big. I think writing about this picture would be a good writing task to do. I hope you cheek out my blog and you should keep doing this.
