Literacy: Cinderella comprehension

We looked at our answers to the Cinderella comprehension. On the board above I have put three answers that are not very good. The first one is not a sentence. The second is a sentence but it does not contain enough information. Who found what where? The third one contains all the information but it is too long and wordy. The same information could be put into a much neater, shorter sentence that is easier to read.


Here are example answers to the five questions. Every answer is a complete sentence. It is possible to work out that the rind must be the outside of the pumpkin, without using a dictionary. The text says that the godmother removed the inside, leaving only the rind, so the rind must be the outside.
