English week 12-13

Our topic right now is CRIME.

I've put all the material we've been working on in Twinspace (Project activities > Documents).

Here is the exercise we're working on right now...

Police & Crime in popular culture

The aim of this exercise is to get a broad picture of how police and crime are portrayed in mass media.

Think of a song, film, TV series, book (including comic books) or newspaper/website that deals with police and crime.

Post examples in Twinspace (Project activities > Police and Crime) that you want to talk about in class - you can write in Twinspace as well, but that's optional.

In class, we'll look together at what you've posted and you can tell us more.

1) Why did you choose this material?

2) Give a little bit of background information about the material.

3) What does your material say about crime/police?

4) How do you feel about what it says?
For example:

• is it realistic?
• is it positive/negative/neutral?
• what perspective on police/crime does it take?
• do you share this perspective?
• can people learn anything from it?

So login to Twinspace and get posting!
