Social and Community Studies - Viewing Lesson: Territory Cops

A recent episode of Australian Reality Television program Territory Cops (S3 Episode 7) available on 10 Play. The episode has 4 incidents and the handout has a retrieval chart for students to record key information from each event. Of particular interest is a serious crash that has resulted in the critical injury of one female driver. The investigative process the detectives use is outlined. There is also a hooning incident.

Beneath the retrieval chart are 4 short response questions about hooning.
The final activity is an extended response (paragraph) in response to the hooning incident. Students are required to cite relevant Queensland laws which would likely have been applied if this crime was committed here instead of NSW.

Links to QLD legislation are provided for students to access via laptops.

Pedagogical Tip: I utilise the broadcast strategy approach (Barry & King, 1998) previewing the questions prior to playing the episode so that students know what to listen out for.
