Our entry ticket allowed us to recap the story verbally then we ordered different statements to assess our understanding of this. From here we looked at a further question where we had to empathise with one of the characters in the story, thinking about what we would do in a certain situation.
We then unpicked the language that we would come across when reading the next part of the text. We took part in a chorus read, partner read and an independent read. We thought about our expression when reading then moved onto our reasons to read.
Our exit ticket allowed us to think about what the characters would say next in the story. We are looking at direct speech in our writing lessons at the minute so this was a great activity for us to consolidate our knowledge.
