2. Young Jeff walks his ageing Grandmother to the shops. She is scared to go out because she sees vandalism everywhere. Young Jeff is one of the vandals damaging local property but his Grandmother does not know this. How do you think she will feel if she finds out? (ashamed, upset, worried for his future, angry etc...) |
3. One night Jeff’s Grandmother was feeling unwell. She is too poor to have her own phone and had to go to the public phone box. This is two streets away. It was late at night and raining heavily. She wanted to called Jeff’s Dad for help. It took her twenty minutes to get dressed and walk to the phone. After great effort she reached the phone to find it had been vandalised and could not be used. What could be the consequences of her not being able to call for help? |

EXAMPLE STORY Once my estate was a very nice and pleasant place to live. However, a
local gang of young people began to vandalise property. No one tried to
stop the gang because they were frightened of their own property being
damaged as well. At one point the estate had a very bad reputation and
good people started to move out. The local factory also moved because
their premises were regularly damaged and it cost them a lot of money to
make repairs. When the factory moved many people lost their jobs,
including my Dad. |
