Conscience Alley! Michelangelo

This drama convention is used to explore a situation where a character has an important decision to make. Room One's version focuses on part of our thinker keys reflections - should Michelangelo say no to the Pope? Or should he paint the Sistine Chapel? The students act as his inner thoughts and talk about the what could happen either way - One side of the alley is 'for' and the other 'against'.
