Hot seating

5th Feb 2020

After reading the book and watching Under the Hawthorn Tree play at the Mac theatre the P7s have completed a lesson in Hot seating.  This is a strategy in which a character played by a student are interviewed by another student or the class.  I have to say the p7s were fantastic at recounting events from the book and pretending to be a character from our much loved novel.
