Student Task 4
Term 4, Week 5: week beginning 16 November, 2009

Rap point 3

Read and enjoy Bear and Chook and Bear and Chook by the sea to respond to Rap point 3.

This week we are thinking about similarities and differences. Look closely at the text and illustrations in both books. Watch the Q&A video.

3a) How are Bear and Chook different to one another?
For example, Bear is usually adventurous and Chook is cautious.

3b) How are Bear and Chook similar to one another?

3c) Do these books remind you of any other picture books in your library? (e.g. about bears, chickens, friendship, fear or journeys). How are these other books similar to the Bear and Chook titles?

3d) Where to now for Bear and Chook? Suggest a title for the third Bear and Chook adventure.

Lisa Shanahan and Emma Quay are online this week. Post a message or ask a question at Authors.
