TEACHERS' NOTES FOR THIS CLIP

DRAMA ACTIVITIES:
1. Pairs - discussion...followed by whole group: the group splits into pairs to rehearse talking to King Charles II. In each pair one member will be the king and the other will continue to be a visitor to Matrix. After- wards, one member will be selected to represent the whole group in the conversation with the king.

GUIDANCE:
1. This is the most complex of the activities to arrange, so be ready to organise and supervise. The group needs to split into pairs. The key points to consider for the rehearsal are things like: i) how should respect be shown to the king - what form of words should be used, what movements? ii) how can you be sure to make the king understand that you found the money (and didn鈥檛 steal it)? The king may want to find out more about the person they are speaking to - like where they have come from and where they are heading.
After a minute or two bring everyone into a group circle. Then select one member of the group to represent everyone else and either take on the role of King Charles II yourself or nominate someone else to do so. Then allow the conversation to happen with the whole group to witness. If you have time you could allow several group members to have a go speaking with the king.
