Reading
Today we will be reading the fifth chapter of ‘A Long Walk to Water’. We will be focusing on answering retrieval questions, which you can find below.

1. If the lake has more water than the pond, why can’t Nya’s family just stay there year round?

2. How is Nya’s water collection different at the lake camp?

3. How did the bees express their unhappiness?

4. How did Salva know that Marial was not from his village?

5. How much time has now passed since Salva started running?

 Retrieval questions are where you look for the answer in the text you are reading. For example on question one, you would scan for the key words which would be: Nya, lake and year round. You would then find the answer near these words. You can choose to read Chapter 5 on your own or listen to Miss Robson reading it here.
