Almost standing in someone else’s shoes... 
 
Meet two very interesting characters. Both of them have their job to do. Both of them have their roles and rules to follow. Although, somehow they are extremely strange characters. The way they speak just doesn't make sense. See if you can straighten it out... 
 
Aimed at higher achieving pupils around 10 to 12 years old, ‘Rules in Words: The Edwardian Life, 1901-1910’ is part of a powerful, yet unusual, series of children’s picture books. The stark black pages with sparse white writing are interspersed with occasional poignant photographic images.  
 
Each story in the ’In Words’ series comes with a list of possible tasks in order to increase children’s engagement with literature and help to develop inference, analytical skills, evaluative processes and the ability to critically compare. Use this text to teach about formal and informal language, writing voice and dialect.
