Should Jim stay in the workhouse?

On Tuesday morning, we continued reading “Street Child” by Bertie Doherty and started to think about what life was like for Jim in the workhouse, particularly after the tragic death of his mother. All the children took part in a conscience alley drama activity where there were two lines facing each other, trying to convince Jim to either stay or leave the workhouse.  There were some very persuasive reasons for and against this question!

    I think that he shouldn’t stay in the workhouse because it is a cruel place to live whereas if he were to escape he would be free to find hid family.

    I couldn’t make up my mind because there are so many reasons for for and against, so it was very hard to choose.

    I think he should leave because who would want to die in a work house when he could live with a family?
