It's always
good to look at a lot of different texts. There's many more examples
of print around than just books and newspapers. Here's some activity
ideas/discussion points that use cinema tickets as their focus.
Similar activities can be produced for bus, train, footbal match
and theatre tickets.
Things
to discuss...
What
are the tickets for? How can you tell?
What
information can you get from the tickets?
How is the information
organised on the ticket?
- film title easily visable in capitals on the ticket
- format of time, date and money
Which information is
most important? Does that affect where it is placed on the ticket?
Other
ideas...
You could
create some simple comprehensions on a collection of tickets.
The children
could design their own tickets. They would need to think about
what information needs to be included on the ticket and display
the information suitably on their own tickets.
Tickets
could be used as inspiration for creative writing. Old film titles
( from films the children are unfamiliar with ) could inspire
the children's own stories. The loss of a ticket often forms a
good story starter.
