areas of help for those with family problems. ADAPTATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS The class that this unit has been designed for is a mixed ability class. The unit of work allows for the incorporation of class/group and individual work. However, it is an area that could possess some problems as the set texts deals with social conflicts and violence – an early instance of gang warfare that in today’s society extends to racial areas and genders. I intended to use a range of resources from many eras and cultures. As “The Outsiders” is a late 1960’s version of gang warfare. I want to relate this to a more modern text such as the 1993 Romper Stomper an Australian film of neo-Nazism vs Asians or the film Boys in the Hood, Negro gang warfare in American in the 1990’s. This might

pose a problem if ethnicity or racial discrimination existed in the classroom. Another obvious problem would be is if gangs existed in the mythical school, however both problems do not occur. The only problem to deal with is gender as females do not tend to dominate in gang warfare, they are considered as the prize of a gang or a reason to cause a war.
