Kavi Looks Back on Term 2
"What a term we've had!" cheered Kavi. "We worked out why an author wrote a text — to inform, persuade or entertain. We punctuated direct speech with quotation marks, we used the apostrophe to show owning — like the dog's bone — and we read similes and metaphors that paint a picture. Today we bring it all together — let's show what we know!"

What your child will learn
1Four things we learnedThis term we worked out why an author wrote a text, punctuated direct speech, used the apostrophe to show owning, and read similes and metaphors. Here they all are together.
2Simile, or metaphor?A simile compares two things using the word like or as. A metaphor is bolder — it says one thing is another, with no like or as. Tap each one into the right box.
3Read this text — look for every skillTap each line in order. This short persuasive text hides all four of the term's skills — the direct speech, a metaphor, the owning apostrophes, and the one purpose behind it.
