Narnia Literacy Circle - SOLO Questions & Answers (Week 8)
Learning Intention:
Demonstrate our deeper understanding of the text.
Success Criteria:
  • Questions begin with the higher order SOLO verbs.
  • Answers are detailed and include personal voice and evidence from the text.
Questions:
  1. Predict what would happen if Raphael didn’t find the wallet in the first place?
  2. Compare/Contrast Raphael and Gardo
  3. Create a word search about the book
  4. Analyse the beginning of the story
Answers:
  1. I predict that if Raphael didn’t find the wallet in the first place things would be much different. Raphael and friends would continue to live in poverty and they would just all just continue to be dumpsite boys. He and his friends also wouldn’t be on an adventure trying to solve a mystery about the man’s wallet. Since Raphael did find the wallet they are having an adventure and solving a mystery instead of doing their jobs as dumpsite boys.

  1. The similarities between Raphael and Gardo are that they are both dumpsite boys and they are proud of it, especially Raphael. They are also both important parts of their community and family as they care for them. The differences between Raphael and Gardo are mainly their characteristics. Raphael is a trash boy with style which means he is proud of it. He is a small boy with a lot of strength and he wants to get somewhere in life. Gardo is like a big brother to Raphael, he is strong and protective and always is on Raphael’s side. Gardo continues to care for Raphael throughout the book.

One day he finds a bag which has a wallet inside with some money and he learns about a person named Jose Angelico who died in a police investigation. The police have made a reward for finding the bag. The mysterious journey then begins with a message which was in the bag. As they get closer to the solution of the mystery they hope to find some money for their families and themselves.

She always thinks the best of people and doesn’t believe that they would fool her. “Behala had hit me hard, and i couldn’t get it out of my mind” “ I fell in love with the eyes looking at me, and the smiles” “Jun would not call me Olivia, it was always “sister”, and then it became “mother” Olivia plays an important role in the story and is a volunteer teacher in the Mission school.

Director - week 7

By Anonymous
Director Learning Intention: Create questions, and give feedback against success criteria. Success Criteria: Thought provoking questions are created. Feedback is given against the success criteria for the group.         1. If you were in Rat's position would you steal the money from the mission school and why? 2. Why do you think Rat, Raphael, and Gardo are staying in a seperate room away from home? 3. Why do you think Marco made Gardo meet him in a small tea house? 4. Who do you think will be strongly involved in the rest of the story and why? ( Not including Rat, Raphael, and Gardo). 5. What do you think the coded message in the letter will talk about when they figure it out? By Zoe
