LC: Use clues to make inferences about character’s thoughts and feeling.
Let's re-read the part of The Green Children where the cottars discover the boy and girl.
And there, huddled in the hollow of the largest pit, the cottars saw what Clac had seen: two green children. Their skin was green, their hair was green, they wore green clothes. And one was a boy and the other was a girl.
Here is the next part of the story. How do you think Clac was feeling and what was he thinking when he saw the children? What might he have been thinking? Look for clues in the text.
For a moment, nobody moved, nobody spoke. The cottars looked down at the green children and the green children looked up at the cottars. “Blessed Edmund preserve us!” exclaimed Clack and he made the sign of the cross.
”And Saint William of Norwich,” muttered Grim, and he made the sign of the cross too.
“Who can they be?” said Swein helplessly.
“Ask them,” said Clac. Swein laughed nervously.
“All right then,” said Clac. “I will ask them.” But he was nervous too. The break in his voice betrayed him. The cottars bunched together anxiously.
“They might be little folk,” Swein warned him.
“Let’s leave them alone,” said Thurkett.”Look at them,” Clac replied. “Do they look as if they mean harm?”
The cottars crowded to the edge of the pit watching breathlessly. If one man had moved, the rest would have toppled down. The green children held tight to each other. They gazed up at the cottars and trembled.
