A fictional newspaper article sets up the proposition that CCTV is installed in schools. Students read and respond to the article through a series of structured tasks:

  • making notes on first impressions, noting the key facts and considering both sides of the argument for and against

  • a choice of writing tasks giving options for the audience and form.

Lovely resource.
Easily adaptable for college students and linked with some You Tube clips with different options , it makes an interesting lesson for view points and perspectives.
You can add some language analysis linked to the text, which can be linked to the reading section of Paper 2.
Currently looking for a 19th century text on surveillance, then will have a complete practise paper.
Thank you
