Mr Mandela
For this activity, please imagine that you are Mr Mandela and that you are living at Robben Island prison. You have been given a journal and each night you write in it. On your blog, write a journal entry imagining that you are Mr Mandela. What do you think he did each day? How did he feel? Include as much detail as you can in the journal entry

Hello Priya,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful! I have the pleasure of reading some of your blog posts again today :)
It is nice to see that you have written 4 different journal entries to describe Mr Mandela’s prison experience from day one through to his last day. What emotions do you think he would have felt when he was finally released from prison?
I’m interested to know what you thought of this activity? Did you enjoy thinking and writing from another persons perspective? I think doing an activity like this is a great way to put ourselves in other people's shoes and experience ideas and feelings we may not experience in the real world.
I enjoyed reading this post. Keep up the great work!
