But what do you think? It’s time for you to have your say!

I think it can be a really effective teaching tool but I have to say that I HATE using it! I have seen other teachers use it really well though!
I know what you mean, Lucy. I once attended an RSC workshop where the tutor gave a wonderful demonstration of how effective it can be, but I can imagine having to do it yourself – and with troublesome students rather than drama teachers! – it would be a sizeable challenge.
