27/07 Devising- Task is around a story so groups are starting collecting some ideas around traditional stories. We looked at the exemplars yesterday and discussed compilation play making. Some students are doing melodrama reassessment.

Group 1: Sabrina, Shawnee, Lauren
Sabrina is interested in "The Ugly Duckling" - there is one odd one out which is sad, it is something that happens to people, particularly teenagers. She is looking at lists of traditional stories too.
Shawnee is looking at same story but I don't know, it needs a lot of characters and it doesn't interest me.
Lauren thinks the story has a good message. Good take the concept into human world, teenagers.
