Edexcel GCSE English Week 4

Lesson one:
“Starter - Picture on each table.
Students in groups to answer the following - What do you think could be going on in the picture? What 21st Century crime is being committed? How long has this been a crime? How much is it reported in the media?
Introduce prostitution as a crime. Discuss Holbeck in Leeds where they have legalised prostitution. Why have they done this?
Introduce Jack the Ripper. What do the students know about the murders? How do the women, crimes, soliciting and drugs differ? How is the Ripper text different from today’s articles? Are there any sources quoted? Are there any words or phrases that identify it as 19th century?”

Lesson two:
"Writers’ viewpoint and perspectives of two video clips. How has crime reporting changed in the last 40 years? Is there a difference in the way people speak? The sources they use? The camera angles? Summarise these differences providing examples from the videos as reference.
Now, in groups, read through the two articles from the Jack the Ripper murders published in 1888.
How do these differ from the two reports you have watched from 1981 and 2016?
How does the language and structure of the reports influence the audience?
"
Lesson three:

Split into group and hand out the pack on Modern Day Slavery
