Faith's postcard for Reaching Ray's Rock

In this graph it shows Dean's feelings from the start of the story to the end of the story. At first he felt confident but when his Dad said to him that the weather was bad his confidence began to go away. Then he felt really worried but when he was half way up the mountain his confidence came back but he fell down. When he got back up he pushed him self and started to say chants to keep his confidence up. When they had reached the top of the mountain he was very proud and that was the end of the story.

WALHT: Empathise with a character in a story.

Learning Progression: Connecting - I can make connections within and across a wide-range of texts e.g. empathise with characters in situations, predict possible outcomes

Visualising - I use keywords, and descriptive phrases to imagine characters, settings and actions in novels

Success Criteria: Empathise with the character by considering their feelings  based on the details of the text and the description of the track. Creating a reflection postcard/letter from one character to another from the text.

WALHT: Empathise with a character in a story.

When we finished reading the book and having sometime to chat we had to, create a postcard from Dad to Dean or Dean to Dad, reflecting on the experience and how it has changed Dean for the better. The second activity we had to do was a beginning, middle to end emotion activity. We had to consider how Dean was feeling throughout the story. In the begging dean was feeling happy because it was his first time hiking up a real mountain. The middle was about him saying "How about a picture!" and him thinking about the weather made him feel bad. The end was about he reached Rays rock and seeing how far they have made.
