Very interesting discussion with a group of three. The teacher gave the students each a different article on women’s inequality. The girls then highlighted what was most interesting to them. The teacher then told each girl to take it in turn to create a small piece of drama based on one thing that they had highlighted. This is the start of the students research for their verbatim style play. I was able to offer some advice on what research roots they might like to take, as my dissertation was a verbatim piece. And the group, including the teacher and myself were able to have a productive discussion about sexual harassment which the teacher then prompted the girls to record in their note books for assessment means and to enable the girls to reflect on the lesson and progress their private research to bring to class next time. After class the teacher explained to me that though the girls are very productive workers, year 13 still need help to focus ideas and bring them together, it is also important to let the students come up with ideas for themselves though it is very tempting to suggest what they might want to do. There needs to be a balance in helping and letting the girls find their own feet.
