Man and Sea | Storyboard & T-Chart

L.I: To infer information from a text.
This week for reading we are learning about the reading strategy inferring. My reading group had to read a text called Man and Sea by Elia Taumata then create a inference t-chart and comic strip. We created the comic strip on storyboard and the t-chart from on a google doc. In the t-chart we had to include our inference from text and the proof. The storyboard had to show how to inference and what inference is. Man and Sea takes place in Samoa and is about a 16 year old boy named Loane. Loane's father passed away and so he dropped out of high school to help his family and get a job even though his only 16. His papa knew about and seen his hard working and gave him a special proposal, the same one he gave his father when he was also forced to become young man just like Loane would be now. Loane had already knew what it was and he smiled at the thought of it. The proposal was to get a traditional tattoo done by a master tattooist. The tattooing was painful for Loane and he made noises and his legs jumped whilst the tapping of the tools. His little brother wanted to look away but his papa turned him and told him the story and tradition of the tattoo that his father used to tell him too. They master tattooist stops finally for a break and Loane gets up to look in the mirror. Loane tells his little brother how some day it will be his turn too as he walks toward the beach. In my story board I used two of my inference examples.
