terminology and the features of Mrs. Birling

knowwhat is going on
 Forum Theatre – students will perform the play to the rest of the class, and as the
audience,they act as the director. At any point, they can shout ‘STOP’ to alter how it is
performed.This can allow for students to think deeper aboutthe characters, and also the
text. Each character will be written up on the board to keep track of their feelings and
what is going on.
Cognitive challenges:

Forum Theatre – setting up a forum theatre allows for students to think
deeper about the characters. This will be demonstrated to the students so
that they understand what to do, and why we are doing this task.

similarities and differences, goals, repetition and practice, meta-cognition, feedback,
