'Ey Mickey!' 3 files: Scouser dialect glossary and origins and 'Blood Brothers

Fun and educational handout on accents and dialects plus a glossary of Scouser words and terms followed by an activity asking students to write phrases for Mickey in Scouser and Edward Lyons in Standard English. I created it to reinforce students’ learning of the play ‘Blood Brothers’, but you could use it just as well as a stand alone resource on accents and dialects. For many kids in southern England, this resource was an eye-opener as language is far more standardised down here. Ideal springboard for further research and creative writing in the authentic ‘voice’ for Mickey Johnston. Kids enjoy the exercise a lot and it’s a good springboard for more work on language and class.
