A lesson that allows students to write a ‘school report’ for either Edward or Mickey, this is based on having read the section of ‘Blood Brothers’ that focuses on their school days. Lesson begins with a class reading opportunity (page numbers as a rough guide), before moving on to a class discussion of the differences between Edward and Mickey’s education. There is an external link to a Youtube video that shows schools in the 1960s, discussion points in the PowerPoint notes too. This may generate some interesting opinions from your students! The preliminary task prior to writing the school report encourages students to find quotes/stage directions that support their ideas on what to include in their work. The lesson finishes with Parents’ Evening where students role-play the teacher/parent and discuss Edward or Mickey’s progress and the report they have received.
