Thinking and Talking Critically and Interpretively About Friends

Standard

Stage 3 have been working to think deeply and talk about their thinking this week.

We have been using text and words to think and talk about friendship – discussing definitions about friendships and looking at some famous quotes about friendship.

Next we tried to find an image that representes friendship – and we tried to link the visual elements of the image to the idea of friendship the image was conveying.

We looked at the colours, the perspective, the size and placemant of elements in the image. It was pretty tricky at first, but we tried again in another session and came up with some thoughtful responses.

Here are some books you might like to read about friendship:

Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (JK Rowling)

Wonder (RJ Pallacio)

Charlotte’s Web (EB White)

Bridge to Terabithia (Katherine Paterson)

The One and Only Ivan (Katherine Applegate)

Holes (Louis Sachar)

Because of Winn-Dixie (Kate DiCamillo)

The Rainbow Fish (Marcus Pfister)

The Strange Case of Origami Yoda (Tom Angelberger)

The Hobbit (JRR Tolkien)

Stellaluna (Janelle Cannon)

Ivy and Bean books (Annie Barrows)

The Last Olympian – Percy Jackson (Rick Riordan)

The BFG (Roald Dahl)

    I recommend Amy and Louis, Rose meets Mr Wintergarten and Jessica’s Box – all lovely picture books that explore friendship.
