View activity
This is an activity about stealing cars which invites the students to write the opening scene of a TV drama, based on the storyboard they have chosen. The activity title comes from the term Twocking: 'take (a car) without the owner's consent'.
Discussion
Talk about joyriding and stealing cars. What do the students think is the reason behind it? E.g. peer pressure, boredom, bravado. Ask the students if they have ever been encouraged to do something by their friends which they were not comfortable with, but did anyway. What did it feel like? Why did they go along with it?
Role play
Invite the students to imagine they are in a small gang. Challenge them to work in a group of three to act out a conversation between the members of the gang. They should take it in turns to be the one who is reluctant to take part in an activity and who is persuaded to join in by the others.
Extension activities
Ask the students to imagine how Geoff, the owner of the car, felt when his car was stolen, and to research whether he will be recompensed by the law.
They could go on to write a victim support leaflet called, 'What to do if you are the victim of a crime.'
