This task assesses close reading and making inferences about the setting, backdrop, props, costumes, and acting required in a performance of the Junior Journal play "Too Much Noise".
Students read a Junior Journal article about tree cutting. From their comprehension of the story they complete a retrieval chart and explain the figurative language used.
Students read a story about a girl's first night in Samoa. Then they decide whether some statements are true or false and give evidence from the text to back up their responses. There is a link to the text used in the "Using this Resource" tab. SJ-1-1-1996. Text provided.
After reading the text, students work on this resource with a partner, recalling the sequence of the story and some details. To do this, students are given a list of words to select from. Students justify their inferences based on the evidence in the written and visual texts.
