5 shootings that bloodstained America - Written Comprehension HOMEWORK
16mars
As part of your homework during those weeks without classes, please find attached a grid you need to fill in with the required information from the texts in annex. They all deal with shoot-outs that traumatized Americans. Also keep in mind that there are shootings every year, therefore the list of gun massacres in the document is far from being exhaustive.
NB: In class I would have made you worked in groups, with oral interaction activities yet you can see it is not possible given the CO-VID 19 confinement situation, hence you will work individually.
Just a clue, so that you avoid lacking space when filling in the grid: you must draft the information about the Fort Hood shootings in the line "Group 5" (as two shoot-outs took place in that military base).

The dividing effects of sports

Dear students,
Find attached the three documents which highlight the fact that sport can create divisions within the society instead of federating us - as it is supposedly meant to.
In class you had to write a synthesis explaining why these three documents showed the dividing effects of sports.

Document 2 is a video which features racist abuse hurled against English football players in Bulgaria.
Document 3 gathered two graphs which enhanced the difference of pay and media coverage between male and female sportspeople.
