1 UK: Social classes and homelessness
UK: Social classes and homelessness
I forløbet arbejder vi med med emnerne social classes og samfundsforhold i England.
Der arbejdes med et landeportræt af UK, hvor vi kommer omkring emnerne homelessness, social classes, education og inequality.
Hovedværket i dette forløb er romanen Stone Cold af Robert Swindells, som viser skyggesiden af det britiske samfund, uligheden og en udsat befolkningsgruppe. Samtidigt har bogen et crime tema, som kan
relateres til Crime forløbet.
I forløbet arbejder vi med genrelæsning, fiction analysis (personkarakteristik, setting osv. ) under
inddragelse af non-fiction og teori fra det supplerende materiale
Fokus har især været på at lære om britisk kultur og samfundsforhold med henblik på at forstå hvordan social classes er en del af det britiske samfund.
Centrale begreber i forløbet: inequality, disparity, social mobility, poverty, elite, rough sleeping, identity, family conflicts, social privilege.
