This week for reading we read an extract from Charlie and the chocolate factory. It described Willie Wonka. Then we had to answer some questions and find the language that described his face. Here is my work.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory By Roald Dahl Page 2
BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE TEXT:
Who is the author of the text? Dahl Roald
Who is the main character of the extract? Do you know what an extract is? Willy Wonka
Is he the main character of the book? No, Charlie is
The novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a good example of a narrative, but what do you think the purpose of the xtract is?
- to describe - to inform (share facts) - to share memories of a life
In the table below, write the two nouns which describe parts of Mr Wonka’s
face and the
adjectives which describe them.
This was really tough, wasn't it? It is hard when you have to look at a piece of writing closely and ignore some stuff and find what you need. It's a bit like looking for treasure in a trash heap. You did a good job! I'm glad you included the adverbs which go with the adjective 'bright'. They work like a team, don't they? It would seem wrong to split them up.
ReplyDeleteRemember how we talked about how adverbs answer questions? Your brain could have a conversation with itself about these words and it might go something like this: Well, what are Mr Wonka's eyes like?
They are bright.
Okay, how bright are they?
Well, they are marvellously bright!
Oh! And HOW marvellously bright are they?
They are MOST marvellously bright.
And that’s how adverbs work.
