Bok Choy summary

I.A.L.T write a summary about the text I've read.

Today was our last day reading Bok Choy. our writing task was to create a summary on storyboard and then put it into words.
Here's a screenshot of my work.





Bok choy is a story written by Paul Mason.
The story is set in a Chinese village in New Zealand.
There’s a few main characters in the story, Ah sum, mother, Mrs Bishop, William and Jacob. At the beginning of the story Jacob and his mother are stacking firewood and they get interrupted by an old man named Ah sum, who came over to sell some Bok choy to get money.Then Jacob decides to go fishing, as he was fishing he go swept of the rocks and couldn’t get out, all he remembers was waking up in Ah sum’s Chinese hut.It’s weird for Jacob because he has never been in the Chinese village before, then Jacob realises that  Au sum’s very kind and helpful. Soon later Jacob's mother comes to collect him and his mother was very grateful for what Ah sum did and wanted to thank him for his good deed. 

As Jacob and his mother are walking home they are stopped by Mrs Bishop, Jacob and mother aren’t happy with this so they stick up for Ah sum by correcting her racist word that she calls Chinese cabbage which it is actually Bok choy.

I most enjoyed making the storyboard because i found it fun and challenging.
I found writing the summary challenging  because i got stuck on some parts.

Have you ever wrote a summary before?
