Crime and punishment 2020

We are going to study and write about crimes, criminals and different punishments. We will discuss their merits and try to find out if there are any "good" crimes. And of course we will also get into the discussion surrounding the pros and cons of the Capital punishment.

We will work with the material in section two, Wings, the new edition and we will also write a diary from our time in prison when we are doing our imagined time. Furthermore will we see a movie, I won't specify the name yet so nobody watches it beforehand. Finally you will all do an oral presentation about a famous crime, criminal or prison. You will be evaluated during classes and most specifically when you do your diary, write about the Movie,  and during your oral presentation.

Uppgifter

Write a diary

Write a diary from your imagined time that you are serving and it could be about almost anything in your imagined life. You could describe your thoughts about the actions that led to this stay, you could write about how you try to survive the boredom in jail, what all the other prisoners are doing there. You could even write about what you dream about doing when you get out. But I got one thing that I want you to focus on, and that is vivid descriptions.

Oral presentation

Make a short presentation about a famous crime, prison or criminal. I hope you all can do it before the class and to pass you are not allowed to read from a paper and you should strive for a content that lasts around two minutes.

To write a reworked text about the movie.

We will do writing assignments as we watch the movie and the final one has to be rewritten on a computer and then you need to pay attention to my comments.
