Today miss put us into groups because next lesson we are going to start with the campaign unit properly. We were planning what we will do for the performances. We had to think of what our topic will be and my group thought of video vixens and how they are treated in music video's that nobody knows about. It's also about school children that tell there story about them getting abused by there parents because of different reasons and they say that they want to be a video vixen because they get a lot of attention. We are going to do a music video scene for the first part of our performance. Our campaign name that we all came up with is "She is abused".

In today's lesson Ms Burgess put us into groups and gave us a newspaper to look for an article and read it and understand it. Then she told us to pick out a couple of sentence and write it on a paper. After that she told us to read them out one by one. Then Ms asked us to make 3 freeze frames by picking 3 of the sentences out of all of the sentences that everyone had chosen. After making the freeze frames we had to pick one of them and think of words or sentences that, which character would feel. My words were angry, knife, hurt. She deserves it anyway and strangle. The one we picked was the one were Rubina was getting attacked by 4 people me, Suma and Shapla were strangling her and Moushami was stabbing her. We all practised them and all 4 of the groups showed the whole class what they and we came up with. In the beginning of the lesson we played warm up games.

In today's lesson we were starting our new unit called campaign as this was the first lesson with ms burgess. We started planning out the potential campaign topics. We also said what we think campaign the word actually means. I thought campaign meant purpose because without a purpose you wouldn't have a campaign. We also talked about what we want our campaign to be about. Most of us said it should be about women/ladies because that’s what we are.
