These open-ended questions actually seem quite tricky considering that the kids aren't given much info to begin wtih.

Oh, and I forgot to answer the questions. Trying to think like a student in P1....

Lilli is a polite girl.
The letters must be sorted out because they are all jumbled up in the bag.

I thought of polite/courteous girl too, but Tim wasn't convinced!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

That's what "critical thinking" is all about. No longer are they given comprehension that you can find the answers from the para. They are now to infer from the stories!

Doesn't seem fair. Some kids must be exposed to a lot more info at home and elsewhere. Unequal access to information!
