Crayons Express Emotions

Read the passage, then answer each question. Use clues from the text to explain your ideas.

A Note from Red

Dear Imogen, Today I coloured the curtains, the stage lights and three enormous hearts for the school play. By the time George asked me to colour a sunset, my tip felt blunt and my wrapper was smudged. I had worked for a long time, so I rolled beneath the paint table for a quiet rest. Nia found me there. “You have done a brilliant job,” she said. “Would a sharpen and a little break help?” I felt relieved. I asked the children to save some colouring for the other red crayon, too. Please remember that sharing the work will help us all stay ready for the next scene. From, Red Crayon

Understanding the Crayon's Feelings

1.How does Red feel after colouring so many things?
  • Worn out
  • Furious
  • Bored
  • Proud but frightened
2.Which two details show that Red has been used a lot?
3.What did Red do when it wanted a quiet rest?
4.Which words in the note tell the children to share the colouring?
  • “I coloured the curtains”
  • “Please remember that sharing the work”
  • “Nia found me there”
  • “my wrapper was smudged”
5.Why did Red feel relieved when Nia spoke to it?

Persuasive Words and Requests

6.In Red's note, what does the word “brilliant” suggest about the job Red did?
  • It was excellent
  • It was unfinished
  • It was too difficult
  • It was messy
7.Match each word from the note to what it does.
  • Please
  • help
  • remember
  • Names something that would be useful
  • Makes a request sound polite
  • Asks someone to keep an idea in mind
8.Complete the sentence with a persuasive word from Red's note: “ remember to share the colouring.”
9.Why is “Please remember” a more polite request than “Share the colouring”?

Write as a Crayon

Use the passage as a model. Show a feeling and make a clear, polite request.

10.Imagine you are a blue crayon used for every shadow in the school play. Write two sentences that explain how you feel and politely ask the children to share the work. Include the word “please”.
11.Draw a crayon face that shows one feeling Red might have had in the note. Add one detail, such as a blunt tip or a smudged wrapper.
12.Name two things Red could say or do to show that it feels relieved.
13.If you were helping prepare the play, what could you do so the crayons were ready to use again? Give one sensible idea.
