Read together the sign: Welcome to Hillside.
Explain that Hillside is the name of the village. Ask pupils if they have ever seen a sign like this. Is
there a sign like this where they live?
Intercultural: Explain that in the USA, names for villages and towns were often made up to represent
what existed in the area – in this case a village with hills on one side. Ask pupils if this is the same or
different where they live.
Have pupils work with a partner to say what they see in the picture. Remind pupils to use the
recently reviewed words as well as new words on the page to help them.
Note: Pupils should respond using full sentences. Less strong pupils can respond at a word level.
