In Tale 1, we are incorporating stereotypical east-end accents into the piece, I also want to work on saying my lines, without them becoming unrecognizable. 

Every time I say a line I change my action like texting, taking a photo or on the phone.

I enjoyed being able to direct Tale 7 with the cast rather than Miss.Goodall because it allowed us to express our creative side .

Our scene is about someone working in their family owned shop, and having faced racial abuse for ages, finally stands up to one rowdy customer in particular.

 we all turn into snakes, ganging up on those behind the till.

As each of us have the turn to say our lines, we morph back into humans one at a time, and join the others behind the till. This then leaves Connor on the the other side, alone, while we gang up on him. It's like a shift in power, as we all become the narrator and realize that what we were doing is wrong, and now attack Connor.

So far, we have blocked the first half of the scene, up until the line "The prices are on the front mate, I say, YOU picked em up". We decided to all start out as the narrator's brother, stacking shelves; being bored. However, after this, we become shoppers, wandering around the aisles.

Reflect on the targets set:  Have they been achieved? How?           

I achieved target 1 by being more open with my body language and focusing on my voice to get the right accent I need for the tale. I also achieved target 3 by not just relying on my facial expressions but on my gestures/body language.
