Hello everyone,

On Friday, we wrote the lesson (5 differences) in your copybooks.

Friday, December 1st (the first)

Recap the five differences between the two extracts

• In extract 1, the crowd is just behind the marshalls and Ruby Bridges whereas in extract number 2, they are behind the fences/white barriers.

• In the first extract, Ruby Bridges goes to school with her mum (she holds her hand) whereas in the second extract, she is alone with the federal policemen.

• In the first extract, she has(=wears) a pink dress whereas in the second extract she is in white only (white dress, white ribbon, white socks and shoes, symbols of peace).

• In the first extract, there is nothing on the school entrance whereas in the second extract, there are graffiti (racist insult: «nigger» and « KKK »:the name  a white supremacist and very racist group) and a smashed tomato.

Homework for Monday: learn the 5 differences.
