ABSTRACT

Fortunately this incident never really happened. Woodstock High still proudly demonstrates its white, impressive pillars, red brick library and meticulously trimmed green to its visitors. The students did not blow up their school and turn it into shambles. Instead they enacted a scene as part of a mythodrama session (Guggenbühl 2003a: 135-144). Their task was to imagine the end of a story, which was related to them. They were given two hours, during which they could fantasize their version of the end of a story we told them. To the bewilderment of the principal and the dismay of some of the teachers, they presented this horrid scene. Were these students out of their minds?
