What is a quote? When you use a sentence or part of a sentence from a text, this then becomes a quote.
It is important to remember that you must always credit the author of a quote when using this as evidence.
Task 1. 'Think Pair Share'
With a partner explore the following quotes from the novel and explain how they impact on the reader and what theme they are linked to.
'Walid looks puzzled. But at least he doesn't look like he wants to kill me any more.' Mason, p78.
'We've got to stick together. Whatever happens." Mason, p134.
'That'll give me an excuse to stop and think straight at least.' Mason, p105.
'if only Ad-am could understand that this not a funny business.' Mason, p94.
“‘It seems,’ he says, ‘that if two such boys from different cultures can learn to live together and survive such a perilous journey, then there is something here for we adults.’ (p167
“But how could his mother give him away like that?” ”If Mum had had the choice of us both starving to death in Bangladesh or giving us what she believed would be a chance to be educated and make some money, I think she would have done exactly the same thing.” (p164)
“We’ve got no right to be up on our high horse anyway…It was only a hundred or so years ago that we were sending children up chimneys and down coal mines.” (p168)
“I’d really like to know how you two were able to communicate, so you could work out what to do” (page 170).
Task 2. Now it is time to begin writing a paragraph on one theme as identified in previous Learning Bite.
In this paragraph you will be required to use a quote (from the ones you worked on with your partner.) to support your idea.
Remember to use TEEL
