Our entry ticket today allowed us to think about differences between two maps and we also gave our own personal opinions about the map we preferred. We explored each map together, thinking about what we can see. We thought about why the author may have chosen to show the maps in a different way and we voiced reasons for this. We used our inference skills to try and work out which part of Africa we would be looking at and thought about what we noticed about certain places. From here we read the text using a partner read, an independent read then we used a chorus read. As we read we explored specific vocabulary, unpicked phrases and discussed what we had read. We then looked at our reasons to read which showed us we had taken in what we had just read. Our exit ticket pulled all of our learning together. We drew a picture and described East Africa 🙂
