Description

In this unit, pupils read and explore the text, 'Don't Cross the Line!'. By reading a book with few words, pupils will use inference skills, relying on illustrations to understand the plot and key themes. They will engage in rich discussions, linking themes to their personal experiences.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' comprehension skills, which were developed in the prior unit, 'The Planet in a Pickle Jar'. Pupils will explore and discuss the layout of the text, make predictions and share their opinions. The unit will build on pupils' inference skills by reading a book with few words, relying on illustrations to understand the plot and key themes of authority, identity and collaboration. This unit prepares pupils for the future unit, 'Grandad's Island', where the illustrations play an important role in understanding the key themes about the characters, setting and plot.
