Our entry ticket allowed us to compare Nigeria and Sierra Leone, the text we looked at last week. We then played 4 corners looking at some of the vocabulary that would appear in our text today. We loved playing this and really thought about words in context and the word class of each word. We supported each other and discussed the words before moving to the corner we thought was correct. Today we did some independent reading but we all read out-loud. We tried to work on the pace of our reading, Mrs McClare even set timers for some parts! Our reasons to read allowed us to think about our impression of Africa but we had to use the text to support our answer. We then read the next part of the text, this time with our partners. We text marked our new vocabulary as we read. Our reasons to read on this section showed we had understood what we had read 🙂 Our exit ticket allowed us to give our opinion on South Africa, using the text to support our thoughts.
