7 Glynde become investigative journalists



Reuben Hayward-Brown of 7 Glynde writes

A few words about the Charlotte Dymond lesson in English:

This was a lesson we had, in which a group of tabloid journalists had to find out information about the murder of Charlotte Dymond, (a real murder), from certain witnesses, who had things that were true to say, but could fabricate as much as they wanted, and then write an article about it.  

There was an interesting atmosphere upon entering the classroom; almost one of anticipation, (as everyone was permitted to wear silly wigs, hats and drawn on moustaches, but they were also waiting to laugh at those who dressed in the the fashion of the opposite gender; I myself wore a dress).  Soon the journalists' pestering got to the witnesses, creating flares of anger, and, at one point, even a false confession!  It was fun.
