What do GOOD READERS do?
WALT: evaluate - to make judgements about what I read and explain why I think this.

Question: Many explorers and adventures have done amazing things in the 20th Century but Sir Edmund Hillary is the most talked about and celebrated in NZ. He is even on the $5 banknote.
Why do you think this is? What makes him special? Do you think he deserves this level of fame over other 20th Century explorers and adventures?
