In S4/5 drama we have been looking at bullying as part of our topic on power. This week we started work on some devised pieces using a play called "The Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty" as our stimulus.
We only looked at the climax of the play where a boy called Terry Dumpton meets a terrible end at the hands of a group of school bullies. The pupils then had to decide what happened before this to lead up to it and what happens in the aftermath... there were some interesting ideas!
They will create 4 scenes based on this and then each pupil will take responsibility for 1 of the scenes. They will be the director and in charge of their particular scene.
Is this not looking a bit too deeply into the meaning of a wee nursery song!
