Term 1, Week 8: week beginning 17th March, 2008

RAP POINT 3

Wilfrid Gordon’s “… house was next door to an old people’s home and he knew all the people who lived there.”

• Invent another resident of the old people’s home. Tell us about them. Use Mem Fox’s writing style to help you. For example:

  He talked to… who…
  He ate with… who…
  He followed… who…
  He sat with… who…

• What would this resident tell Wilfrid a memory is? i.e. “Something…”
  
• What special object could Wilfrid find to give Miss Nancy to help her remember?
  
• If Wilfrid gave Miss Nancy this object, what do you think Miss Nancy would start to remember?
