On slide 13 read the slide and then think about these questions
A Letter from an evacuee and questions
Talking points about letter
- Q1: Do you think Ellen likes or dislikes being in the country? Give reasons for your answer.
- Q2: We don’t know from this letter how Ellen feels about being away from her family. How do you think she might feel?
- Q3: Other children sometimes disliked being evacuated. Why do you think this was?
- Q4. If you could go back in time and speak to Ellen, what three questions would you ask her?
Activity 3
Write a letter home from the point of view of an evacuee. You need to decide on how you feel about being an evacuee.
Read the Evacuee interview document to get a sense what it was like to be an evacuee during this time
Checklist of things you need to include in your letter
- Journey- What was the journey like?
- Family- Who are the family you are staying with? What are they like? Are your brothers and/or sisters with you?
- Where-Where are you living? Is it different to what you are used to? How?
- School- What is your school like? Do you like your new teacher?
- Food- Are the meal times different? Is the food different?
- Emotions- How are you feeling? Are you coping with the changes? Do you miss anyone? Who?
The letter will be an informal letter ( not like the one we wrote in English from Mrs Sass about Liam's behavior in the school assembly)
