English drama work -Beowulf.

In English we have been enjoying Beowulf.Having found out that there is one last monster to defeat, the old King Beowulf believes he has one last fight left in him whilst others, including his cousing Wiglaf, believe he is too old and should not fight the dragon! To help us empathise with the characters, we took part in a conscience corridor drama activity .On one side of the corridor children told the King why he should fight compared to children on the other side who told the king why he should not fight. The king walked slowly down the corridor pondering these views before finally deciding what he should do!

"don't do it, your kingdom needs you"

" you can win,fight the dragon"

"die a hero"

"let someone else fight"

Harry(alias King Beowulf) decided he was not ready to die and so would not be fighting. Jess( in her role as the King) listened to all and decided that she did have one last fight in her and that if she were to die then it would be better to die a hero!
