We have been busy being book detectives.  We worked in groups to read a fiction book.  Then we took on different roles.  Some of us had the job of Summariser (creating a summary or synopsis of the story), some of us were Illustrators (creating and drawing a picture that would give a clear idea of what the main theme of the story was) and some of us were word finders (we looked for interesting and unfamilar words in the story and used a dictionary to find and record their meanings).  We all did a great job!
