English
Listen to chapter 7 'The Wild Thing' here: https://st-lukes-church-of-england-notts.primarysite.media/media/chapter-7-the-wild-thing
- What do you think of Jim's decision to leave the workhouse?
- Where do you think he will go?
- Do you think he will get caught?
Think back to the previous chapters when we learnt that those who get caught trying to escape are locked in the shed.
- Do you think it is a good idea for Jim to escape?
- What would you do if you were Jim?
Activity- Today you are going to be writing a balanced argument (for and against) Jim running away. Try and link some of your ideas to the story or what you know Victorian Britain to have been like. You might start by completing the table below to plan your ideas.
