Blood Brothers- exploring the theme 'Nature Vs Nurture'

This lesson focuses students on the differences between the two households, including the education and the housing during the time of setting. The main task is for students to create a ‘missing scene’ from Blood Brothers, and imagine what would happen in both Edward and Mickey’s houses on the day of their 18th birthday. They need to write a script for this scene, following the same form and structure of Russell’s original script (including the narrator and perhaps challenge them with including a song!)
