1. Improvise a scene in which Helen’s mum and dad are talking about her.

She has recently been

questioning their decisions and demanding the same freedom as her brother. How do you (her
parents) feel about this and what explanations can you find for her behavior and attitude?

2. What other expectations do you think adults have of children generally? Make a list of the ones
which annoy you most and create a way showing each one visually. You can pick three situations
and make three short dialogue scenes.

3. Imagine Helen and her twin brother have both been asked to write a short piece entitled
“Childhood: the happiest days of your life”. Both Helen and Tony choose to write about the
same incident. How would their pieces differ? Write the two pieces.
