A first look at...

Hello lovely year 9s!

1. In preparation for our first topic, read the following articles on gangs:

http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/17/ex-gang-member-lifts-the-lid-on-life-inside-londons-most-violent-gangs-6858703/

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/14/small-town-children-at-risk-of-exploitation-by-criminal-gangs-say-mps

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/aug/30/gangland-this-is-warfare-on-our-doorstep-what-life-is-really-like-inside-a-london-gang

2. As you read, pick out new vocabulary and write a definition for them. AT LEAST EIGHT FROM EACH ARTICLE. 
Remember to use lingro at the top of the blog to help you read the articles, especially the third one!

3. If you finish, please use the tabs at the top of the blog (Guardian, BBC etc.) to research some more articles on gangs.

See you tomorrow :)
