Tomorrow, When The War Began: Chapter One

Learning Outcome: Today I am learning to discuss what happened in Chapter 1 in the story.

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of first-person narration?

- Being able to live the experience and to feel the character's own thoughts and feelings.
The disadvantage is only looking at one character's perspective during the story.

2. Why do you think Ellie needs to tell the story in chronological order?

- So it'll be easier for the reader to understand the story.

3. Pick one interesting word from the chapter, find its meaning, and explain why it is interesting.

- Anonymous: not identified by name

The word anonymous is interesting to me because it gives me a mystery vibe.

4. John Marsden foreshadows several events and characters in this chapter. Make three 5.

predictions based on the evidence in the text about what may occur later in the story.
- My first prediction is that something might bad happen. My second prediction is they might get lost during the trip. My third prediction is they might be in danger.

5. What kind of story do you think Ellie is going to tell? Uses evidence from the text to support your answers.
- Probably something interesting and thrilling.

6. What set of skills do these characters have that convince their parents that they can ‘go bush’ independently. Find examples for three characters. 
- A skill of persuading their parents to let them go and to trust them that they can go anywhere without someone looking after them.
"Well, we thought it was time we showed independence and initiative and all the other good things" - Ellie.
