- My group and Abdullah's group performed the conflict scene where I wanted to build the fence but Abdullah didn't
- It started off well because there were only four people on the 'stage' however as more people from the groups started coming up it was very loud and chaotic and couldn't tell who was talking or even who each person was impersonating
- Then we read a poem called Filthy Heart
- We had to find verbs in the poem e.g. beating and thumping
- Ms Ruiz put us into groups and then gave us a verb from the poem
- I was with Aman, Salma and Varoon and we had the word beating
- We had to act out the word while Ms read the poem
- We took inspiration from the heart when it beats and copied the same movement
Second Lesson
- We entered the classroom and sad music was playing
- There were chairs laid on the floor, papers scattered, the bin upside down and the table on the floor
- On the board we brainstormed what characters, setting and conflict must have happened e.g. robbery, abuse, fight
- Then Ms put us into groups - my group is me, Arnima, Sahil and Daniil
- We had to act out what might have happened and recreate the mess
- Also we had to include thought tracking (what the characters are thinking, they say aloud when everyone else is in a freeze frame)
- We chose to do this scene:
The drunk husband came home and started shouting at the wife and abused her, their child tried to stop it and the neighbour got angry because of the noise
Characters
Malcolm (Drunk husband who physically abuses wife) - Sahil
Innocent wife who gets physically abused by Malcolm but doesn't want to divorce because she wants Sophie to have two parents - Federica (me)
