Frank the Train Robber

We have been learning to write character descriptions. We watched a short animation here:

http://www.literacyshed.com/a-shed-full-of-animations.html 

 then in groups came up with descriptive language. From the language created we wrote short character descriptions. Please watch out for more character descriptions on classmates to follow next week!


WALT: Write a character description
 Frank the train Robber!




Frank the train robber is a mischievous man. He works with his brother Jesse robbing trains. He always wears indigo clothes that match his baby, ocean eyes, which sparkle like the moon in the winter! He has very weirdly placed elephant ears and an elongated, precarious, square nose. He has cut to the bone amber, gleaming hair. If you add that all up he has a protract, rectangular, Dad face! Frank and his brother Jesse are greedy, selfish, unprepossessing train robbers. If you see them, please do NOT approach them as they are very dangerous. If you know anything about them call this number 3.1415927.

Franks choice of life style is a bit peculiar some might say- he robs trains alongside his
brother Jesse! He has the most daring and handsome face which can put you under a spell in
seconds, and the most trancing eyes you have ever seen. Frank’s prickly, chunky, chestnut 
eyebrows are like bark on a tree. He likes to wear a slick suit, tight to the bone as if
there's a magnetic force holding it on! He has a cigar tightened between his lips and
his deep, beeline, sharp nose is a knife. Frank’s square, broad, blunt chin could squash
anything in its sight in an instant! To top that, he has disheveled, blotchy, stubby stubble.
He is the most mischievous, devious, daredevil train robber like a fox in the woods. If I
was you I would steer clear of Frank and his equally dubious brother.

Train Robbin Frank!

Hey ya’ll this a lil’ description on a wanted man named ​Frank​. He is wanted for
robbing trains with his brother Jesse, but lets just stay on ​Frank​ for now eh? Ok
lets start of with his head, ​Frank ​has a distant, gaunt, box-like head.
He has shimmering, blazing ultramarine eyes that are nearly covered by his
bushy, overgrown, forest-like eyebrows. ​Frank ​has a never ending, rectangular
nose. The train robber also owns a prickly, peculiar, wire like stubble. And yea,
that’s about it for ​Frank​ the train robber, if sight him, report immediately to your
local station.

Meet Frank, and his brother Rob. Both of them are train robbers. Frank has lanky, slender, stick legs that help him run from train to train! He also has faint, shaved, stubble and pentagon, wide, gaunt ears to help him listen for trains he has shiny blue eye’s so shiny it’s hard to describe maybe I should say blazing blue eye’s…

    Frank the Train Robber       

Once there lived a guy named Frank, his favorite hobby in the world was to steal things with is annoying brother Jesse.

Frank had blazing, rectangular, ultramarine eyes and a nose as pointy as an elephants trunk.
His face had a shaved, faint, odd stubble  appearance and his ears looked like a pentagon.
His legs were lanky, slender, little stick legs and he had gigantic hands.

Frank was a very greedy little man, so he decided to hop on a train to steal a gem, and the only thing stopping him was his sneaky little bro Jesse.

OUR INQUIRY TERM 2, 2017

What is this?

Inquiry is when we get together in groups and research about a topic.

Why did we do this?

This week we have been changing the inquiry model we have from teacher talk to children's talk. We are doing this so we understand what the model means and can use it when we do inquiry learning.

What did we do? 

We got into groups and brainstormed the inquiry model and we explained what were questions and thoughts or what it meant to get engaged in something. Then we got together as a class and created our own inquiry model in children's talk. 
Below you can see the first two stages of our inquiry model changed into children's talk.

*What is a Growth Mindset?
If you are wondering what this is (as it is in Stage 2), it is when you stick to something, never give up, you have a 'can do' attitude, you have a positive attitude, have an open mind, try things differently and your mind grows by learning different things. We might do another post about this!!!




Room 1's inquiry topic children's voice
Understanding questions and choice. This is the second stage of our inquiry model. We completed this in children's talk this morning 4/5/17.
