Kindertransport The Ratcatcher
AQA GCSE English Literature 2010 Unit 1, Section A: Exploring modern texts
Kindertransport by Diane Samuels

The Ratcatcher
 The Ratcatcher’s role and the importance of his appearances are detailed on pages 2 to
5. Each page includes basic information about an element of the role of The Ratcatcher.
There is one page on each of the following areas:
1. doubling;
2. representation & symbolism;
3. music;
4. in performance.
You will work in small groups on one of above – excluding the page on ‘doubling’.

Being teacher
 In your groups, you will need to read, research and understand your chosen area and key moments (as relevant) from the text. Your task is then to teach other groups / the rest of the class about your specialist area and its significance. It is up to you how you go about this. For example, you can:
 create a range of worksheets;
 plan tasks and activities;
 organize games and quizzes;
 give presentations, performances or readings;
 do a mix of all of the above.
 Where possible, try and make sure that your lessons include: reading, writing and speaking and listening tasks and activities. Also try to make sure that there is opportunity for your classmates to work individually, in pairs and in small groups.
 As a class, read the page titled ‘Doubling’ and then complete the tasks, activities and worksheets on pages 5 to 10. This should give you an idea of the sorts of lessons you could create for your classmates on the remaining three areas.

Playwrights use this dramatic device to make a point – often political.



The actor playing ‘The Ratcatcher’ also plays:

    When working with an individual I could adapt the environment to try and improve the effectiveness of communication, for example adjusting the lighting or creating a quiet area so that we are away from noisy activity or distractions. I could also make sure that I am clearly seen by the person I am trying to communicate with so that they can observe my body language and use of eyes and facial expressions. I could also speak slower to enable the individual understand what I am saying and also allow for silences so that the individual can process the information that I have given them.…

    ut of all the evil people in the world, it only takes a few good souls to stand up and do the right thing in order to make a difference. There are so many stories from wars about death and destruction of people's homes, lives, and dignities. Wars have a unique ability to cloud the mind. They can make people do crazy things. They can make people do things that they would never think they were capable of doing. Wars can make you do the wrong thing, but they can also open your heart to doing the right thing. Despite the fact that there was so much destruction caused by the dictators who ruled much of Europe during the time of World War two there were people who stood up against those evils. According to the Talmud, 'whoever saves one life, saves an entire world. This Jewish saying, points out that if you can save one life you have saved an entire generation. This is because when you take away someone's life, you take away their ability to fall in love, marry, and have children; therefore, destroying potential.…
