Make a Sentence

What did Funni do to transform her environment?

• What else could she take away, add or change about the environment that would bring nature there?
• How might Funni 'rewild' an abandoned urban environment?

Make a Sentence

Drama Opportunity 1 - Character Roleplay

Look at the Rewilding the Environment Resource. In pairs: explore the images and talk about what Funni could do to transform the urban environment you have chosen. Take it in turns to act as Funni, using actions to show how she is transforming the environment.

Drama Opportunity 2 - Character Interviews

In pairs: one of you act as Funni while the other acts as an interviewer. The interviewer: ask Funni questions about how she is transforming the environment.

Guide Questions:

• How are you feeling about this environment? Why?
• What do you notice about your surroundings?
• What do you think is missing from this environment?
• What are you planning to do with this place?
• How are you going to transform it into a natural space?
