Extra Credit
A. Research
At the end of the lesson I mentioned that there are conflicting views about whether there was a real Sweeney Todd murdering in Fleet Street who this musical is based on. Do some research and tell me what you find out in at least 300 words. There's no right or wrong answer for this, I'm just interested to see which side of the argument you agree with and what evidence (or lack of) you can find!
B. Art
After all the murders I'm sure that Sweeney Todd would have been a wanted man. Assume he hadn't been killed at the end but instead went on the run. Create a 'WANTED poster' that could have been used to advertise his crimes. You might want to also offer a reward for information which leads to his capture.
C. Musical
Make a video or sound recording of you singing or playing one of the songs from Sweeney Todd. Upload your video to a file sharing website (photobucket) or youtube and include the link in your video/recording. I am looking for effort and interpretation here rather than musical talent (although being able to hold a tune does help!). You can choose any song, you are not restricted by gender. For more information about videos please visit the forum.
D. Puzzle
It took Benjamin barker many years to get back to London after he was banished and the journey changed him. Solve the maze below to help him get back a bit quicker. You need to find a path from the top of the maze to the exit at the bottom but I warn you it won't be easy. Hopefully you won't have changed too much by the time you finish!
