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

  1. Where is the spot in Nya’s village that visitors said the water would be found?
  2. Why is Nya so confused about the visitors?
  3. What was the first evidence of the desert receding?
  4. Who were the men who approached Salva’s group? How does Salva know who they are?
  5. Salva thought it was a “good thing to be the youngest and smallest.”Why did Salva think this?
  6. What was the last thing the men did before running away?

Retrieval questions are where you look for the answer in the text you are reading. You can choose to read Chapter 10 on your own or listen to Miss Robson reading it here.
