WALT:    I can condense the ideas and paraphrase  in my own words.

Title: The Case Of The Collapsed Cards

Who was in the story? Buzz, Buzz’s Mum, Crash, Aunt Mabel, Melody, Buzz’s Dad

What was the problem in the story? Buzz has returned and found that someone in his family had sabotaged his house of cards, that he was still building. He thinks that its someone in his family had done this on purpose, or has been playing tricks on him.

How was it solved? Buzz questioned everyone in the house. His brother Crash, was practising playing his guitar the whole time her was out at soccer practise. Buzz’s Mum only went inside his room to put Buzz’s clean laundry nicely on his bed. But his mum said that his house of cards were neatly stacked. Suspicion filled him, asking questions were very difficult. Melody, Buzz’s sister said that she had went into his room as well. But she only went in there to get the “Sonic Boomers” Cd, and walked straight out of there. Buzz’s Dad bursted in the kitchen and said that he had also went inside his room, he also tripped over the steps while walking up them. When he opened the door to say “Hello” to Buzz he noticed that Buzz’s cards we knocked over, and scattered all across the table. At this moment he started to really think about who was the culprit that had sabotaged his house of cards. He was also trying to beat his brothers record, with 37 cards. but Buzz only had 36 cards that held up his house. He only needed two more cards to be able to beat Crash’s record.

Now write all the information above into a summary of what the story was about. Buzz was out at soccer practice, when he returned he found his cards to be scattered all across the table in his room. It was the third time in a row that this event has happened. At first he thought it was the wind so he shut all the windows in his room. The next time it happened he thought that someone in his family had been playing a trick on him so he set up a microphone and a 120-minute tape-recorder. Which was just the right amount of time for him to go to soccer practice and also return.When he came back he rewound the tape and listened very closely. Buzz questioned everyone in the house. His brother Crash, was practicing playing his guitar the whole time her was out at soccer practice. Buzz’s Mum only went inside his room to put Buzz’s clean laundry nicely on his bed. But his mum said that his house of cards were neatly stacked. Suspicion filled him, asking questions were very difficult. Melody, Buzz’s sister said that she had went into his room as well. But she only went in there to get the “Sonic Boomers” Cd, and walked straight out of there. Buzz’s Dad bursted in the kitchen and said that he had also went inside his room, he also tripped over the steps while walking up them. When he opened the door to say “Hello” to Buzz he noticed that Buzz’s cards we knocked over, and scattered all across the table.

He was also trying to beat his brothers record, with 37 cards. but Buzz only had 36 cards that held up his house. He only needed two more cards to be able to beat Crash’s record. He tried very hard to catch the person who had done this to him.
