Main Activity
Access Pinpoint Comprehension Unit 16. Skim read the questions on the ‘S’ sheet and ‘D’ sheet to get the gist / idea.
📄 READ - Aliens Stole my Underpants
Ask your student to discuss the text with you, to familiarise. Agree that this is a poem.
What makes us know it is a poem? There are verses / stanzas, that are divided up and look like separate sections. There are rhyming words: discuss these and find them in each of the stanzas.
Ask: How does the rhyme in the poem help the humour? Change some of the rhyming words for non-rhyming words that keep the meaning. How does this affect our reaction when we read it? Why?
Then your student should answer the questions on the ‘S’ sheet and ‘D’ sheet.
Reflect on their answers once finished.
