Ted World

This week in class we have looked at some of the hundreds of videos uploaded onto the excellentTed.com website. I´m sure that there´s something there of interest for all of you. What I´d like you to do is to write a little bit about one video you´ve seen, briefly explaining the content and saying why you like it.

Have a great week.

Let him have it

Hi everyone,
In 1952 Derek Bentley was hanged for murder of a policeman in London in November 1962. Read about the case here. I´d like to know whether you think this was a great miscarriage of justice or a deserved punishment. And can you think of any other cases which rested on the interpretation of a simple phrase?

Elvis Costello was clearly moved by the story and recorded the song Let him Dangle in the late 1970s. This is a live version. Enjoy...
