Lesson starters. Grandma's junk. 4
Description
This open-ended short play, featuring four characters, is designed to inspire groups of pupils to discuss how the play might develop and improvise alternative endings. The play sets up a dilemma for the four characters and is followed by a 25-30 second section of prompt questions under the heading What Happens Next? The National Curriculum Programme of Study for English at KS3 states that the range of speaking and listening activities offered should include group discussion, group improvisation and performance and the devising, scripting and performing of plays. This resource can be used to develop one or all of these activities.
