Session 1 - Introduction to 'Over the Line' by Tom Palmer
Task 1
During session 1, we analysed the book cover to see what clues this gave us about what the book would be about.
Here are some off their thoughts...
Task 2
Then, moving on to read the blurb and the section on page 133 "About Over the Line," we made our informed predictions about what the book may be about.
Kieran Liptrot
It is an accurate story about Jack Cock playing for England and scoring England's first ever goal after WW1. Everyone else will call him a coward because other men were fighting and he was playing football.
Reanna Barwise
The author wanted the book to be accurate because its a true story. The story is about Jack Cock, his dream of being a footballer but instead having to join the army.
Luke Gibson
I think it is about Jack's life because he fought in the war. It is based on a true story.
Joe Jones
I think Jack will like playing football but he may have to join the army. The he will regret it.
Regan Bamber
I think in the story, they're going to play football in the trenches. Jack is going to teach them and tell us how he scores.
Thomas Palmer
I think that Jack will start off as a footballer and then be moved to a new job protecting his country from the Germans in World War 1.
Joe Jones
I think Jack will like playing football but will have to join the army.
Nicole Birchall
I think this book will be about soldiers fighting in world war 1 and Jack playing football.
Cerys Jones
I think this book will be about the 1st world war and what happened. It will be about Jack's life and his first England goal.
Corey Leadbetter
He was a professional footy player. Jack was a real person who I think goes to fight in the trenches but his dream is to play for his country.
Thomas Dean
I think it will be about World War 1 and about Jack Cock. It will be about scoring his first ever international goal for England after the war.
