The post-it note activity<br />
Following one or more of the above activities you could ask pupils to try out the full scene using<br />
the post-it note activity, as the actors do.<br />
• Ask pupils to work in pairs.<br />
• Give each pupil some coloured post-it notes or stickers (each pupil will need a different<br />
colour to that of their partner).<br />
• Ask them to read the scene out loud.<br />
• Every time they think their character has ‘scored a hit’, either through using repetition that<br />
might irritate the other, or through changing the meaning of the conversation by using<br />
puns, they place a post-it note on the other person.<br />
• At the end of the exchange, who has the most post-it notes on them?<br />
• How did the other character win so many ‘hits’? What was their strategy? What techniques<br />
did they use?<br />
