Unit 11
A few weeks later, Alvin wrote this:
23 rd June Today, Jammy’s puppies went to new homes. I am sad. Jammy is sad. Mom is not sad. The puppies chewed things. They chewed the table. They chewed the chairs. They chewed Mom’s bag. I say, “The puppies are funny.” Mom says, “The puppies are naughty.” I hope the puppies are happy.
1 Where are the puppies? 2 Why are Alvin and Jammy sad? 3 Why is Mom not sad? 4 Do you think the puppies were funny or naughty? Why?
• Question 3: Asks pupils to recognise cause and effect and to draw conclusions . • Help pupils to make connections between the puppies chewing Mom’s bag and her being ‘not sad’ when the puppies go. Inference: Ask pupils to imagine: • how Mom felt when she found out that her bag and furniture had been chewed; • how she felt when the puppies went away. • Ask pupils what they would write about in their journals.
