Wednesday - Period 3

Today we need to finish writing quotes on Wallwisher (see last post).  Once they are complete we will classify them according to the issue that is creating the conflict between Julie, Michelle, Franky and their parents.

Dramatic reading of 'Fossils' extract by Tyson & Naomi (thanks to both of you!)

For the remainder of this lesson you will locate examples from the play that demonstrate the conflict that each character experiences.  These will be recorded on the wallwisher sites below:
