After reading the text, find five interesting words that have been used. Write each word in the first column, followed by their definition (use a dictionary to find these) and use them in a sentence to show that you understand the meaning of each word.

Word	Definition	Sentence (Underline the word)
Pleased	Happy about something	The boy was pleased to have a good score.
Honour	A high respect for something	It was an honour to earn a medal
Trouble	Something that's not right to do	The man got into a lot of trouble
Respect	When you care for something	Friends and pupils should show respect for eachother
Attention	When you want someone to notice you	The girl wants the boys attention

Answer the following questions in full sentences:

• How do you think Tomasi feels about his new position? 

• Why does Fai think Tomasi does not deserve school captain? Fai 

• How does the writer show us that Isaac is concerned for Tomasi? Isaac is a bit upset with Tomasi and you can see by how he reacts

• Why do you think Tomasi feels like he has to fight? Tomasi Thinks that if he fights hell impress his new friends

• How does the story tell us how long Isaac and Tomasi have been friends? By the relationship and how close they are to each other.

Plan and write a paragraph that illustrates what you would do if you were Isaac. What could happen next? Your paragraph must include the characters that have already been introduced and be at least 8 sentences long! 

If I was Isaac I would not stand up for Tomasi because he has done something wrong. Not only that but Tomasi is trying to lie so he doesn't have to get into trouble. Plus who's to say he won't do it again and again. Plus Fai is right he is a school captain he shouldn't be doing that. Plus why would Tomasi want to fight anyway he doesn't have to fight to look cool he's school captain for crying out loud. Anyway What am I supposed to do?. Tell Miss Latu Hello yes my best friend who is also a school captain is beating up kids our age and he doesn't want anyone to know about it. Or do I do as Tomasi says and say no he's not beating up anyone  that's someone else what will happen what should I do.
