Text: Journey to Jo'burg

Week 8 Plan: Journey to Jo'burg

This powerful text, set in South Africa, tells the story of a young girl and her sister on a journey to find their mother, who had been forced to live apart from them. The contrast between the lives of back and white people at this time, illustrates the issue and the lasting damage caused by apartheid. This book provides a good model for discussion and debate and gives opportunities for pupils to present their opinions in preparation for independent writing.
