Why this resource is included

Class forms two lines. A student walks between them as Roger at the moment Mrs. Jones leaves her purse unattended on the daybed. One side whispers reasons to take the money; the other side whispers reasons not to. The walker decides at the end. In bookwormburrows deployment: this maps onto any moral-choice beat in a session. The technique externalizes the character’s inner conflict as a physical exercise. Printable A4 resource available free. Ontario OSSD: Oral Communication B1 (speaking to persuade), Reading C3 (critical thinking about character motivation). CCEA Key Stage 3 statutory drama requirement.
