The senior half of school explored a short story called Blaze.

We investigated a drama box first, and explored how these items may have been used by the characters in the story.

The children created their own alternative endings for the tale and their own books covers and new blurbs to reflect their new endings.

The children made ‘jiggers’ inspired by the coastal landscape which was the setting of the story.

On the jiggers, the children taped or tied on questions they used when discussing their work.

They used closed, open, rhetorical and leading questions over the course of their work.

The children tried to persuade one another as the work developed in drama.
