This week in Tuesdays session we wrote our monologues. We chose to write them in the present tense from the characters point of view. For the piece, we decided to base them on  Amy Beechey, Florence Bonnett and the Teacher. We went with the idea that these women all connect with one another, as the war affected each of their lives, everything changed for them.

In todays lesson we edited our monologues to make sure that there weren’t any mistakes or things that didn’t sound right. After this we recorded two of the monologues, Amy Beechey and Florence Bonnett. We feel that we need to make more changes to the Teacher piece. Having recorded our monologues, we uploaded them to Audacity and saved them to my drive account.

Next week for Tuesday’s lesson, we plan to go to the Lincolnshire Archive to see the Letters that Amy Beechey received off her sons; as we want to include more in our monologues and also make sure that we are using correct information. We also would like to find out more information on Florence Bonnett and her fiance who went to war, we hope to find something that we can use. I feel that this will be interesting and look forward to going to the Archive and finding out more.
