Waltzing Matilda Inferring

Last week Thursday we were drawing a picture of what you see in your mind about the waltzing matilda poem. I drew a detailed picture that explains what the story looks like exactly. We then drew our pictures of the poem and we showed each other which one had more detail then the other. I had the billabong (Water hole), a coolibah tree, a swagman (Seasonal worker) under the coolibah tree,  His tucker bag (Food bag) and him singing and some little fish jumping out and back in the billabong. This activity was meant for everyone to infer. For this activity we were Inferring (Taking what we knew) to draw a picture of what you think the poem waltzing matilda looks like. This activity really helped me imagine what the poem waltzing matilda looks like.
