Read between the lines
Read the passage, then answer the questions.
Ellis stood beside the kitchen table, turning an empty plate in small circles. A few crumbs clung to its edge. When Dad came in, she quickly tucked her hands behind her back. “I was saving it for you,” she said, looking at the floor. Dad raised an eyebrow. Ellis’s cheeks flushed. She took a deep breath, fetched the biscuit tin and placed it between them. “I’m sorry. Shall we share the last one tomorrow?”
5.How does Ellis probably feel when Dad enters the kitchen? Give one or two feelings.
6.Quote two details from the passage that support your inference about Ellis’s feelings.
7.What do you think Ellis did before Dad came into the kitchen? Use a clue from the passage to explain your idea.
Show a feeling through description
8.Write a short description of a character who is proud, worried or excited. Choose one feeling and show it through the character’s actions, speech or appearance rather than naming the feeling.
9.Add a simile or metaphor to your character description. Underline it.
