What's best for Tulip now?

A group discussion task based on 'The Tulip Touch' by Anne Fine, where students decide on Tulip's future. This role play activity could be completed at any stage of reading the text, and gets students to perform in role to construct a point of view, using evidence from the text to back up their arguments.

Students imagine they are in a meeting to determine where Tulip goes next, in the following roles:

• a member of the police force
• a social worker
• a teacher
• Mr Barnes
• a chairperson.
