The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde

This week we have started to have a look at play-scripts.
We have had a read of 'The Happy Prince' by Oscar Wilde and looked at the different characters.

Today we started writing a section of the story as a play.





Each group worked really well together and shared their ideas on how to write the section of the story as a play.
First of all, they had to make a key and highlight, in the story, who was speaking. 

Next week they will start writing their own plays to perform to the class!
