In our reading group we have been looking at sharing our opinion about an event or issue. We read sections from a number of nursery rhymes and fairytales. We looked at one event within the text and had to make a statement about the outcome. The statement then had to be backed up with a good argument. We had to write this argument into our reading books.
We will share some of our work with you.
The Emperor's New Clothes - written by Lydia
I think that they weren't being fair with the Emperor. I mean first of all, telling a lie...well what kind of people were they? It's almost like imagining that everybody was laughing at Barack Obama. The fact that the Emperor was able to tell everyone that if they couldn't see the clothes they were stupid, was so silly. I suppose in some ways it's even, but I'm not so sure. I guess the Emperor was a bit silly, in fact I've decided he was really silly, but they shouldn't have tricked him in the beginning.
The Emperor's New Clothes -written by Madison
I don't think it was fair when the Emperor had to walk on the red carpet in his new clothes (naked). I bet he was embarrassed. All that laughing would be terrible. The tailor or designer should not have tricked the Emperor. I don't think that was fair at all.
The Three Billy Goats Gruff - Written by Robert
I do think that the goats should have gone across to the other side of the bridge. The problem was that the troll was very greedy. He should have let the three goats get across. It was just his luck that the big goat had very long horns. His horns were long enough to knock the troll off the bridge and into the water. The troll was never to be seen again. The troll should not have been so greedy.
