THE GOLD SEEKERS

Retell

The story is about a Korean girl called Miju and her brother who  are forced to be GoldSeekers.  The children have been kidnapped and must now work in the goldfields to try and get enough money to get back home to their family. 

Relate

I can relate to the friendship between Miju and Sam.  I can see that they are there to help each other.  I think that my friends and I are there to help each other too.

Reflect

• Why is it called the Goldseekers?  
• I wonder if this will become clearer as the story goes on?
• Why is the story only focussing on the children in the story, and not the adults?
• Will they find their way home?
• Are they scared?
• What part will the puppy play?

Review

I'm enjoying that the story is also teaching me about the past. I'm learning about what life was like on the Goldfields, particularly for children on the goldfields.
