Module 3: COMMUNITY

Page 8

task two

Divide the class into two groups. Give them the worksheet 4 (page 9) Difficult or different? to work through.

It is suggested in the last question, that they read the poem on resource sheet 1 - That girl/boy! page 11.

Poem reading - A fun way to do this would be as a class activity.

Let the whole class read the poem with half of them reading the bold type, half the light print and all together the writing in italics. You will know how best to use it depending on the make-up of your class. The word boy/girl is interchangeable. To avoid confusion whichever word does not apply should be crossed out before the reading starts!

They will then need to go back and, in small groups, discuss how they would answer the last question on the worksheet.

Bring the class together and find out the results of their discussions. What solutions have been found to the problem of "difficult" people?

task three

Page 10 of the worksheet needs a resource.

This can be found from a current newspaper story

or

be based on resource sheet 2 (page 12) Revolution in Rio - a true story where one of those involved in a dispute between unions took the first step towards a peaceful settlement rather than resorting to violent confrontation.

Follow up on page 10 applies to either task one or two and would be completed after the work experience period.
