The Jigaree


The Preps have continued to learn about the various strategies that can be used when reading to predict the text.
We read ‘The Jigaree’.
 
“I can see a Jigaree. He is jumping after me.
Jumping here. Jumping there.
Jigarees' jump everywhere”
We discussed the repetition within the story. The Jigaree follows the astronaut and copies what he does; going swimming, climbing, dancing and skating.

The story concludes with
“Jigaree Jigaree.
I will take you………”

The Preps had to predict what would happen on the last page. Where was the Jigaree going to go? They drew pictures of where they thought the Jigaree would end up.
