For our homework everyone had to choose one form of communication to write about. Eli made an unusual choice.

Face Pulling

I chose to talk about face pulling for communication.

Face One: the neanderthal face. Puller(s): Sam, Eli
We pull that face to tell someone that we are not particularly interested in something.

Face Two: lip out, stomping and screeching. Puller(s): Eli
It tells you that the person is having a tanty.

Face Three: the death look. Puller(s): Mum
The death look follows a verbal warning. One eyebrow raised and total focus.

Face Four: happy face. Puller(s): Mia, Sam, Eli, Mum, Dad
It tells someone you are happy.

That is great, how creative. This post made me laugh as I can think of people who pull those faces!

Great idea for communication, Eli.
It made me think of a book, but I can’t quite remember the title. It’s about a girl who is upset when her pet tadpole changes to a frog. In the story, her mum sometimes gives her THE LOOK, then she knows she’s in trouble. I’ll have a think and see if I can come up with the title and author. It’s well worth a read.
I’m impressed with your flexible thinking. Ms Donnell

The book was “The Mad Tadpole Adventure” by Melanie Drewery and Jennifer Cooper. Maybe your school or local library has it.

I loved reading your post, it reminded me of all the faces I see in my class. Thank you.

Good job on your homework! We thought it was a great idea. We liked your doodles. We think they are funny. Our parents and teachers sometimes pull the death look too!
