Let’s learn more about how to make fire!

We are going to make a set of instructions on how to make fire by striking flint.

Watch the video below

While watching the video, think about the verbs (doing words) he uses when he is telling you what to do in each step.

Use this table below to help you.

First, fill in the column titled COMMON VERBS while watching the video.

Amazing right!

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT FIRE IS VERY DANGEROUS! IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED SAFELY BY ADULTS!

Now let’s fill in the adverb column.

You can fill in the last column with the rest of the sentence.

(example and word bank below)

Remember:

I have given you an example below. This will help us build up sentences.

WORD BANK

Baseboard – flint blade – ember – tinder bundle – fluffy – horseshoof fungus -

We can now write out our step-by-step instructions on how to make fire with flint.

Remember:

• Break your work into separate steps.     
• Use the table you filled out to help you.

Step 1

Carefully place the baseboard on the floor to protect from the cold ground.

Activity 2

Start by completing the sheet. Write a sentence for each picture describing what’s happening. Use a different ADVERB from the top of the sheet for each sentence.

Example: The cat silently watched the mouse.

I wonder what the characters we can see in the book would be thinking?

I filled in the thoughts of the characters on page 18. (See below)

Right now it’s your turn. Can you fill in the thought bubbles for page 19?

Remember:

• Put yourself in the characters’ position to understand what they are thinking.
• Write in full sentences.
• Check your punctuation.

(See work sheet below)

Well done!

Thinking about the pages we have read today and thinking back to earlier in the story. Answer the  2 questions on the first worksheet and the 2 from the second worksheet below. I have included some sentence starters for you.

Activity 3

Start by completing the sheet. For each picture change the word to put it in the past tense.

Example: add = added

Let’s think back in our story to where the boy is happy and going hunting.

Can you use SHOW DON’T TELL to show the reader that he is happy.

Think about his facial expression, his body language, his heart rate.

Example:

As he grasped his spear tight with excitement, he smiled from ear to ear as he followed the rest of the group.

Your turn, remember to use full sentences.

Now we will continue with our book. Read the following pages.
