Vehicle Text

Let's read the first part of the Vehicle Text.

Read up to the page with the illustration of the Ludy throwing a shot put. Stop reading after the line 'She wanted to become a champion.' Were your predictions correct? Why do you think the 'g' has been left off in words such as haulin', swingin', and hangin' ?

Drama Opportunity: Hot Seating Ludy

Let's look at the illustration of Ludy first throwing the shot put and her friends watching her in shock:

Children are to work in pairs, with one child acting in the role of Ludy and one child acting the role of one of her friends. The friend is to ask Ludy questions about how she feels at this point in time. Sample questions: How did you feel when you threw your first shot put? How does your body feel? What would you like to do with this skill in the future? What are your hopes for what might happen next?
