Week 17 January 11th - 16th 2010

This week we spent two lessons viewing your exposés on our multicultural class ! You had all tried very hard and we learnt so much about eachother, me included. Most of you had followed the plan from http://www.britkid.uk.org however, a few were a bit more adventurous and made a general comparison of the different ethnic groups, origins,religions and so on in our class with figures and percentages to back them up ! Well done for this serious work.

On Wednesday in our group sessions , after the initial recap, we introduced the film Bend it like Beckham by reading a little review by an American critic then we viewed a short scene . The scene we viewed was when Joe went to Jessminder's house to persuade her parents to allow her to play football. You picked out the cultural references and understood Jessminder's dilemma.

We will be starting a new project next week so be ready!
