Preparing for our Protest

In this protest lesson we finalised what we would be doing for our protest we decided that we would bring in our native clothes. We would have pictures and signs, The pictures will be of our various groups that we are representing and signs will be questions such as 'Would you sit next to me on the bus?' or 'Would you call an ambulance for me if I was hurt?'. This was clever because were trying to get people to question themselves, because we do all judge people by how they look. We decided to have a tally using postet notes to get the general reaction of the school populous. In this lesson we also decided that we would a firm, but calm approach to people. This protest works extremely well with our play, because it allows us to explore people reactions to various situations and it also allows us to understand more, how we can approach various political subjects. I think this was an invaluable exercise whilst studying Brecht, because it gives you a feel for politics.
