This lesson was all about pulling our piece together. You need to comment on;

• why we have used the songs in the piece?

• Why have we chosen to set it in a supermarket?

• Comment on the songs within the piece? How do they work to create dramatic tension and to alienate the audience?

• Which other brechtian techniques do we use in the piece?

Tuesday 27th November Protest Evaluation

Political Protests;

Well done today year 12! Some really focussed and creative work! I particularly liked the 'slut shaming'. It was bold and 'in yer face' and really captured peoples attention.

In your evaluation you should think about the following things;

• Which topic did your protest address?

• What were you trying to say through your protest?

• Why did you choose your topic?

• How did your piece communicate with the audience?

• Which moments in your protest were successful?

• Which ideas/moments needed work and were less successful and why?

initial responses to 'The price"

So now that we have read this play, what is it actually about? You said this:

• people being unable to meet financial demands
• Objectification of children
• the importance of material things
• Do we now see children as a burden on our income?
• Everything has a price
• Are we obsessed with money?
• Money rules our world
• Why is the child cheaper than the box of tea?
• How much are we willing to pay for things?
• How have we got to this point now?
• The play addresses a strange question but in a very familiar setting-a supermarket
• Fair trade-do we care about being fair or do we just want the cheapest product for the cheapest price?
• Does money always reflect value?
• Everywhere has crisis
