We are taking part in NZ Read Aloud. Over the past couple of weeks we have been reading 'Juggling with Mandarins', by V.M.Jones aloud as a class. We are completing activities and having discussions with other schools around New Zealand who are also reading this text aloud in their classrooms. So far, we have had to make predictions and create character profiles of the characters in the text. Here are some examples of what we think the book is about. We look forward to reading the text and seeing if any of our predictions are accurate.
Sarah's Prediction
I think this book is about a boy who loves Mandarins and he has a dream about juggling them. So then he tries to to juggle mandarins in real live but it all goes wrong.

Noah's Prediction
I think Juggling With Mandarins is about a boy, who gets bullied and he wants to join a circus, to show that he not just a kid, he can juggle mandarins.

ReplyDeleteI've got something to add to my comment: The post might be better if you included the blurb of the book (if you looked at it).
DeleteI accidentally deleted my original comment, so here it is in full: There is some good predictions there. I haven't read the book, but it looks interesting. The post might be better if you included the blurb of the book (if you looked at it).
Deletegood predictions room 6! I think that those are pretty likely to be what happens in the story, but maybe think outside the box a bit. And once you have finished with the book, how about commenting a rating on it?

ReplyDeleteKio ora my name is Te Harangi from Wesley Intermediate school. I really enjoyed reading your post and I loved how you had a hook in your post witch made it more interesting then I thought by just looking at the post. I liked how you did a short summary of what you are doing in class and what the book is about. My feedback to you is maybe next time you should add a WALT and maybe the blurb of the book. Keep it up! :)
