CR Speaking and listening : Before the role play, discuss the two characters as a class. How does Rat feel? (He has been working hard and he probably knows that Anansi is lazy.) What sort of voice would Anansi use to get what he wants? Ask pupils if the characters would talk in Creole or in standard English. Allow them to role play in Creole or in standard English. • Invite some pupils to perform their role play for the class. • If the role play is in Creole, pick out a few phrases and ask, “How would you say that in standard English?” • Ask the class to feed back on their performance. Did they speak clearly? Did they look at their audience? Ask them also to say one thing they liked. • Encourage role play of characters from pupils’ favourite stories.
