Second Lesson

In this lesson
we disscussed different ways of telling the story.

• News report
• Narrator is the victim
• The words are the Victims thoughts- Thought track
• Music Narrates the piece
• Bully is the narrator
• Diary entry
• Letter

Then we split ourselves into 2 groups. The first group worked on a group of diary entries from the victim leading up to the suicide or centred around the bullying. The second group was to work on a group of letters or diary entries from the bully about the bullying and how they felt. I was in the first group working on the victims dirary entries.
We decided to split ourselves into 5 pairs and each pair works on a diary entry at different points throughout the bullying.

1. Day it started
2. Getting worse
3. Worst part of it
4. Excluding herself from life
5. Final entry

I worked on the Worst Part stage with Beckie Durham

Our diary entry was:

I'm getting bored of it now, it's becoming a bit pathetic. Everday I'm waiting for a remark, a witty comment, a push, a shove and everthing else that comes my way. It's worse than it's ever been before and it's starting to hurt.

We staged each piece by having the pairs split up. One person on one side and the other on the other side. We went in order and One person read the letter out while the other pretended to write. We stepped forward when it was our turn.

We watched each other perform and decided when all the class were together that we could use the victim's diary entries at the start of the final piece and we could use the bully's letters at the end of the piece.
