Next week Monday, May 4, will be our final field trip to Tenney Theatre. It is a fantasy story that takes place in China. It takes place in the Valley of Fruitless Mountain. The story covers several themes, such as Fortune, Friendship, Loyalty, Destiny, Thankfulness and Happiness.
Minli, the main character, will be taking a journey. Minli, places a number of items in her blanket to bring on her journey. She packs the following:
a needle, a pair of chopsticks, her white rabbit rice bowl, dried bamboo,
a hollow gourd full of water, a small knife, a fishnet, some uncooked rice,
a large pot
a small piece of bamboo
and one copper coin.
Make a PREDICTION as to how Minli might use each item. Keep your comments brief.
Out of the eleven items, choose 5 to predict how Minli might use them.
Mahalo,
Mrs. Wong
Students,
ReplyDeleteIf you read the book, and know how Minli uses these objects, then describe your favorite part of the book. Don't forget to explain WHY?
-Mrs. Wong
These are the 5 items that I chose and how Minli might use them:
ReplyDelete1. Gourd-to get more water to drink from a stream
2. Large pot-to cook rice or other foods
3. Uncooked rice-to eat on her journey
4. Chopsticks-useful to eat with
5. Small knife-to hunt or cut with
Great predictions, Mason! I hope some or ALL of your predictions will be true! Enjoy the Play tomorrow!
DeleteMahalo,
Mrs. Wong
these are ways Minli might use these 5 items
ReplyDeletesmall knife is for hunting and cut fruits and other food
hollow gourd for colleting water
pair of chopsticks to eat her rice and many other foods
uncooked rice for Minli to eat
large pot to cook rice and more
1. the knife might be used to kill animals
ReplyDelete2. the uncooked rice might be used to eat
3. the chopsticks might be used to pick up the rice and eat
4. the large pot maybe used to scoop up water
5. the fish net maybe used to catch fish
1.copper coin I think the copper coin will be used for luck if she gets lost.
ReplyDelete2.large pot I think she well use it for storing items.
3.fishnet I think she might use it to climb a mountain.
4.needle I think she will use it by sewing her close if it breaks .
5.small peace of bamboo I think she will use it to give her thoughts of her town
She'll use the pot, water from the gourd and the uncooked rice to make rice. Then she can bend the needle into a fishhook and use the bamboo to make a fishing pole. She also can use the copper coin to buy fishing line and bait (bringing in the fish with the fishnet). Then she can eat her meal using her chopsticks and ricebowl.
ReplyDeleteI liked the part when Minly met the dragon and when the dragon told his story about the fact he could not fly and the fact that he was a painting when he was created.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is when they helped the dragon (who could not fly) scratched by the green tiger (evil tiger who felt for a joke) then he got healed by da-fu and a-fu or da-a-fu from a medicine.
