This links directly to historical and cultural context of Blood Brothers and has been planned for those studying OCR GCSE Drama. This includes a PPT lesson for teaching and a few supporting articles for students to participate in a carousel activity as a distilling activity for a main body task. This can be scaffolded as the earlier sheets are an easier read, so you can easily differentiate this part of the lesson. References in fact sheet
