10 Anansi and Tiger
Tiger said, “Help me, please.” Anansi said, “I will not.”
Before reading aloud from pages 86–87, tell pupils to turn the pages and look at the relevant picture when appropriate. Or, read aloud the story relating to a single page, then look at the picture and text on the pupils’ page before going on to read the ‘read-aloud’ text for the following page. • Ask: What is each character doing? (Anansi is lazily watching Tiger work. Tiger is digging the ground.) • Help pupils to see that illustrations often show us what kind of person a character is. Ask inferential questions such as: What do these pictures tell us about Anansi and Tiger? (Anansi is lazy. Tiger is hardworking.)
