Devising for our mock and GCSE Exam

In our previous double lesson we got into our groups and started devising for our exam. As the brecht group had six people, and the exam board says 2-5, we had to split up. Miss suggested it would be better if we had a group of two and a group of four instead of two groups of threes. I am in the group of two. Me and my friend Kayleigh, the other member of my group, had already been messaging each other ideas. We had come up with a scene where we  were both sisters, one being a nerd, the other being a cool kid who rolls up their skirt and doesn't really care. I am playing the cool kid.
For our set we had created a bedroom scene, a desk, a been bag and a chair. We start the scene off where I storm into to the room demanding for the laptop, which Kayleigh is on, so I can go on match.com. To make this brecht we are doing to stick a piece of paper on the back of the laptop that says 'Geography Assessment', because at the beginning of the scene Kayleigh is sitting at the desk doing her geography essay. The message behind this is piece is not to judge a book by its cover. We are using the quote "It's not what you look at, it's what you see." The main story line of this is that the cool kid seems all lazy and bad girl at home but at school she tries to fit in by skipping class and not doing homework, on the other hand the 'nerd' is studious at home but cool at school. This suggest that even though we look like something, inside is a whole new person, and that humans judge people too quickly.
