Today was our last day reading Bok Choy. Our writing tasks for the last two days have been to create a storyboard and a summary. Below is a picture of my storyboard and summary.
Bok choy is a story written by Paul Mason
The story is set in a chinese village in New Zealand.
There’s a few main characters in the story, Ah sum, mother, Mrs Bishop, William and Jacob. At the beginning of the story Jacob and his mother are stacking firewood and they get interrupted by an old man named Ah sum, who came over to sell some Bok choy to get money.Then Jacob decides to go fishing, as he was fishing he go swept of the rocks and couldn’t get out, all he remembers was waking up in Ah sum’s chinese hut.It’s weird for Jacob because he has never been in the chinese village before, then Jacob realises that Au sum’s very kind and helpful. Soon later Jacob's mother comes to collect him and his mother was very grateful for what Ah sum did and wanted to thank him for his good deed.
As Jacob and his mother are walking home they are stopped by Mrs Bishop, Jacob and mother aren’t happy with this so they stick up for Ah sum by correcting her racist word that she calls chinese cabbage which it is actually Bok choy.
How do you think I did creating my storyboard and summary?
Did I enjoy reading Bok Choy? I did enjoy reading Bok Choy because it had a really good message in it. A old man, a nice old man, Ah Sum was not liked or treated nicely at the beginning. Towards the middle of the story he saves a boy from drowning and people begin to treat him nicer. I like how doing good deeds makes people realise you are a good person?
What was my favourite part? My favourite part is when Jacob's mother sticks up for Ah Sum in front of Mrs Bishop. This is my favourite part because instead of putting down Ah Sum, she protects him as he has protected her son.
I believe the author has written a fantastic story. They've taught their audience an important message which is great.
Wow, this looks very cool. I absolutely love how you shared your thoughts of the story. I like how you shared what your favourite part was, why you enjoyed it, and the message you thought it showed. I think you did a fabulous job on writing the story. Your paragraphs were very detailed. It is a great idea to ask questions. I really enjoyed reading your post.

Kia ora Tui Whānau,
ReplyDeleteYour summary was brilliant. We have also been reading about racism. In our story, a Syrian refugee is being bullied at school even by some parents.
We are looking forward to seeing more of your Reading tasks being uploaded onto your blogs.
