English

LO: To compare events within a text

• If you are printing the sheet, you will need two different coloured highlighters. 
• If you are not printing, you will need to write your answers down.

1.  Prepare for Learning

• Think back to the text and image from yesterday. 
• Have you any ideas about which text they might be from? 
• List your ideas and prove it using evidence from the text.

2. New Information

• Let's read the extract again and then read a bit more.

3. Discussion

• What story do you think it is now?
• What new evidence do you have to prove it?

4. Highlighting

• Use two different highlighters. 
• You are going to find out what life was like before and after the war.
• Highlight clues about what life was like before the war in one colour and after the war in another colour.

5. Comparing and contrasting

• Read the PowerPoint to find out what comparing and contrasting is.
• Look at the 'Comparing and Contrasting' vocabulary sheets to find some language that helps us compare and contrast.
• Have a go at writing some comparing and contrasting sentences, to explain what life what like before and after the war.
• You will need to mention information from BOTH before AND after to write a proper comparison or contrast and ALSO use evidence from the text like you did yesterday.

• Here is an example:  Before the war the family always had plenty to eat.  We know this because it says "There was always food". The text also says that the father would buy meat and catch rabbits as well as keeping their own ducks and chickens. In contrast, after the war, hungry soldiers came and "stole the cabbages and the chickens and the ducks".  It also says that crops burned and were turned into battlefields, which would mean that they couldn't make bread.  Although the family had grown their own vegetables before the war, the vegetables had become rotten and the family began to starve.
