The BFG: Making Inferences Worksheet ____/16 Inferential

As we read through the BFG you will come across words that you have never seen before; words that don’t even exist in the dictionary. You will have to use context clues, or inferences to determine the meaning of these words or ideas. We will practice this skill by answering the questions listed below. Most questions can be solved by using outside knowledge and clues from the text to make an inference.

What is frustrating this man?

Where does Maurice’s family go once a year?

What chore does Jake hate?

The BFG: Compare and Contrast

Tuesday Seatwork ____/12

The Seven Giants - Read the following story and then compare and contrast the story to the BFG.

The ground shook amazingly hard as seven Giants… Smiley, Frowny, Cranky, Dozey, Dreamy, Hoppy and the youngest Silly were playing tap outside a Barbers shop. This shop was owned by their mother and this Giant family lived at the top of the beanstalk.

Their mother had to go out that evening. After she had gone, Smiley the eldest son thought it would be fun to explore what was down the beanstalk. They went to the very tip of the beanstalk. They started climbing down. Silly, the youngest, thought it was a long, long way down but with encouraging words from his brothers he eventually regained confidence.

When they finally reached the bottom of the beanstalk their eyes widened. This magical place was filled with extraordinary colors; it wasn’t just white like where they came from. They started exploring. Just then they heard something twitching in the bushes. Suddenly seven huge nets flew at the seven Giants and covered their great bodies. Before the Giants knew it, they found themselves on a gigantic piece of wood with wheels underneath it. They were wheeled into a cell as big as the castle its self and they spent the night there.

The other six Giants were furious at Smiley for getting them into this mess. The were scared of these little creatures that had captured them. The Giants didn’t know what to do; they were tired and extremely hungry. The next morning the Giants could hear a bell ringing. After the bell had stopped about sixty men came into the cell and collected the Giants. The men took the Giants into the swamp. In the swamp there were many women, men and children clapping and laughing at the jester who was on the stage.

When the jester finished his performance, a man wearing a sparkling crown entered the stage. All went quiet. All Smiley could hear was “Magic Competition.”

Men came and put the Giants on a separate stand each. Seven men walked up to a long, bright red line, they spoke words of magic. All of a sudden, Smiley turned into a purple donkey. All seven of the giants were turned into weird and wonderful things. Everyone laughed at them.

The Giants whispered a plan to each other. The next man turned Smiley into a live, talking dwarf! They all touched each other and suddenly, they all turned into dwarfs! The seven now dwarfs jumped up and ran as quickly as their little legs could go.

After running for hours through the swamp, they spotted a little cottage. They walked in and saw a beautifully furnished kitchen and a dazzling lounge room! They walked into the bedroom and…..there were seven beds all beautifully made. They all agreed that they liked it here and wanted to stay.

So now the seven dwarfs live in a cottage in the swamp and were never to be seen again until a girl came knocking at their door one day. She had pitch black hair, pale skin and lips as red as roses...

Directions: Read the story below. Then place the number (starting with 1) on the lines below to correctly order the events as they happened in the story.

 "Wow look at that one," I said as me and my best friend Sarah jumped on the trampoline one hot summer night. It was after dark and we were looking at the stars.

I thought I was living a normal life, and I was until... a couple nights later we were on the trampoline again and we saw a strange purplish light right above us. "Are there any satellites that color?," I asked as I started to get off the side of the trampoline. Sarah shook her head slowly. I stared straight at the light. Then it got bigger. It seemed to come closer.

Sarah and I leaped off the trampoline and sprinted towards the house. We stopped when we were half way there because it got bigger and bigger and slowly it turned into a faint aircraft figure. It came closer and closer and slowly but surely landed in our yard. Sarah being the brave one walked up to it. I stayed behind because I was scared. It looked like an alien space craft but those aren't real.

As Sarah walked up to it, a door at the base opened. Then, faint pink glowing figures appeared in the door way. They looked some what like the aliens on Men-in-Black. They practically glowed in the dark!! My heart seemed to skip a beat when one of the creatures raised its finger and pointed at me. Then it moved its finger towards the craft. I wasn't sure but I got the impression that they wanted me to go with them. I took a step forward. I felt their icy cold hands grip my shoulder and shove me in!!!Then I felt the ship shake and vibrate and I got butterflies in my stomach as we lifted off! Up we went. I looked out the window and tried to get out, but it was no use. I peered out the window again and saw a planet. I figured it was Mars. Then I felt the ship's familiar shake again. It slowed down and stopped. The door slowly opened again. The aliens pushed me out. I stepped out onto the mushy ground. Then I realized something was wrong! Humans can't breathe the air in space! I dreaded my next breath, but I had to take it. I breathed in and felt my body grow weak. Then... I woke up!!!!

PLACE THE EVENTS IN THE CORRECT SEQUENCE USING THE NUMBERS 1-6:

________ They notice a strange color in the sky.

________ The aircraft landed in their yard.

_________ The author jumps on the trampoline for the first time.

_________ The author awoke from their dream.

_________ One of the creatures points at the author.

_________ The characters jump off of the trampoline & run to get away from the strange light.

Mr. Tibbs skimmed into the ballroom ( butlers don’t walk, they skim over the ground.) followed by a whole army of footmen. The footmen all wore knee-breeches and every one of them displayed beautifully rounded calves and ankles. There is no way you can become a royal footman unless you have a well turned ankle. It is the first thing they look at when you are interviewed.

“Push the grand piano into the center of the room,” Mr. Tibbs whispered. Butlers never raise their voices above the softest whisper.

Now fetch a large chest of drawers and put it on top of the piano.

That will be his chair,” Mr. Tibbs whispered. It is exactly eight feet off the ground. Now we shall make a table upon which this gentleman may eat his breakfast in comfort. Fetch me four very tall grandfather clocks. There are plenty of them around the Palace. Let each clock be twelve foot high.”

Sixteen footman spread out around the Palace to find the clocks. They were not easy to carry and required four footman to each one.

“Place the four clocks in a rectangle eight feet by four alongside the grand piano,” Mr. Tibbs whispered.

The footmen did so.

“Now fetch me the young Prince’s ping pong table,” Mr. Tibbs whispered.

This is The BFG's word for swashbuckling, as in, "We is doing this lovely bit of buckswashling both together."

Catasterous

Disasterous, as in, "Upgoing bubbles is a catasterous disastrophe!" - The BFG on frobscottle

Delumptious

Delicious, as in, "Delumptious fizzy frobscottle..." - The BFG

Gruncious

Awful, as in, "It's the grueful gruncious Jack! Jack is after me!" - The Fleshlumpeater on 'giant-slayer' Jack

Hopscotchy

Cheerful, as in, “Whenever I is feeling a bit scrotty," the BFG said, “a few gollops of frobscottle is always making me hopscotchy again.”

Propsposterous

Ridiculous, as in, "They maybe is looking a bit propsposterous to you," the BFG said, "but you must believe me when I say they is very extrausual ears indeed."

Rotsome

Rotten, as in "So this is the filthing rotsome glubbage you is eating!" - The Bloodbottler to The BFG about the snozzcumber

Sqiubbling

Writing, as in "But I cannot be squibbling the whole gropefluncking dream on a titchy bit of paper." - The BFG 

Ucky-mucky

Messy, as in, "You will be coming to an ucky-mucky end if any of them should ever be getting his gogglers upon you." - The BFG to Sophie

Whoopsey-splunkers

Splendid, as in, “How whoopsey-splunkers! How absolutely squiffling! l is all of a stutter.” - The BFG

---

This is just a little taster because, as well as Steven Speilberg's adaptation of The BFG making its way to a Giant screen near you, 2016 also sees the launch of a new Roald Dahl Dictionary full of gobblefunk and other delumptious words. Keep your gogglers peeled...
