I hope you all are staying safe and not getting too bored with this Quarantine. It is now week 5 and I'm getting kind of bored. But last week the teachers started to set us tasks for so that way we won't get that bored when we are home. We got set tasks for Maths and literacy. Shaw literacy started to read a book called "The Wizard of Oz", and I thought that was really cool because it has a movie and a book for us to read. Yesterday's task was to complete a chapter summary for the chapters 1-4, we had to write a key event, the key characters and a quote from each of those chapters. This s what I put for each of the chapters...
Chapter 1: Key event- Dorothy's house got swept up by a cyclone. Key Characters-Dorothy, Toto, Aunt Em, Wicked Witch, Munchkins. Quote-"There's a cyclone coming, Em," he called to his wife. "I'll go look after the stock." Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
Chapter 2:Key event-Dorothy got the silver shoes. Key Characters-Dorothy, Toto, the Witch of the North, Munchkins. Quote-"LET DOROTHY GO TO THE CITY OF EMERALDS"
Chapter 3:Key event-Dorothy saves the scarecrow. Key Characters-Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow. Quote-"They surely will never do for a long journey, Toto," she said. And Toto looked up into her face with his little black eyes and wagged his tail to show he knew what she meant.
Chapter 4:Key event-The journey on the road through the forest. Key Characters-Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, farmer. Quote-"I think I'll make the other a little bigger,'" said the farmer. And when the second eye was done I could see much better than before. Then he made my nose and my mouth. But I did not speak, because at that time I didn't know what a mouth was for. I had the fun of watching them make my body and my arms and legs; and when they fastened on my head, at last, I felt very proud, for I thought I was just as good a man as anyone.
It took me about 10-20 minutes to get the information that I needed, to show the teacher that I understand the book. This we have to read chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8. That will be really easy for me because I love to read in my own time. Have you read the Wizard of Oz? Let me know how you are going in Quarantine. Thanks for reading my blog post in your own time. See you next time.
Hey Hannah, well done! I can tell you are working very hard and putting a lot of effort into your tasks. Your chapter summaries are nice and detailed. I love hearing that you like to read in your own time, are you enjoying the book so far? I have never read the Wizard of Oz, but I have seen the movie many times and love it! I was starting to get very bored in quarantine, but now I have all of your blogs to look over which is awesome. I'm enjoying having something to do again! Keep up the great work. Caitlin :)
