About This Lesson
<p>Do you give to beggars? Word on the Street is an interview with eight young people from around the UK giving their opinions on homelessness. The film provides a balance of attitudes with four negative and four more sympathetic responses. Comment: The approach is chatty and colloquial, so ideas tend to be undeveloped, but it does provide a starting point for discussion. It is also good for getting students to concentrate on use of appropriate language for audience and purpose. See page 3 of the pdf file for activity ideas.</p>
Useful resource although needs some adapting and developing. This could easily be incorporated into a unit of work on Stone Cold or be used as part of a unit on representation, perhaps. Thanks for sharing this resource.
