Reading -The Cay, E-portfolio Sample - Comprehension
Write an “ITTM” for the following sentences:
After a moment of silence, I heard the sizzle of the water as Timothy doused the torch.
I think that means following a short passing of time, Philip noticed the crackle of the H2O whilst the other main character put out the flame.



For more than a week, I knew he had been labouring over nails to turn them into fish hooks.
I think that means for longer than 7 days, Philip had the knowledge that Timothy was transforming small metal objects into a marine-life catcher.


Roadblocks! There were many roadblocks for us in this book! Choose at least two of the following words to explain and ‘clear the roadblock’ for.
Alabaster -    
Cay - A small island
Jumbi - Something that gives you bad luck, voodoo
Langosta - Lobster
Malaria - A disease, caused by mosquitoes, that gives you a fever


Write down at least three things Phillip learnt whilst on the cay (for example, about himself, caring for others and life etc)
  1. Various survival skills (e.g feeding himself, using his other senses when he was blind etc...)
  2. To trust others
  3. To not take things for granted

They were hunters, fishers and farmers. The Maori diet mainly consisted of birds, fish, supplemented by herbs and roots. They grew crops like potato and kumara. Maori cooked food in the ground, known as a hangi. Some Maori used hot water and steam to boil their kai. They place the food on hot stones and then cover the kai with a cloth. This happens in many celebrations over New Zealand to this day.
