This week we will be learning about social class in the UK. Traditionally people have been classed as working class, middle class or upper class.
We will watch the programme called 'Shop Girl to It Girl', which you can find by following this link: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/faking-it/4oD#2922253
Based on the notes that you made while watching the programme, summarise the differences between a northern working class girl and an urban upper class girl. Think about the areas of general behaviour, voice/accent, posture and appearance. What tasks were undertaken by the 3 people assigned to help her change? Did any of the differences particularly surprise you?
Additional task: try to find out where the word posh comes from. What does it mean? See http://www.phrases.org.uk/
