Shevey, a BFI Associate Tutor, age 66, runs walks around Alfred Hitchcock locations and London`s old street markets.

     <title><![CDATA[MP for a Week ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[MP For A Week is a multi-level online game that aims to help 11-14 year olds develop their political literacy. In this exciting resource students take on the political dilemmas faced by a backbench MP. Players can give speeches in debates, vote on laws, go to constituency events and take part in committee inquiries. They’ll have to keep voters and their party happy, while choosing how to respond to lobbyists, ministers and the press. Re-playable with three levels of curriculum-linked content, the game also features videos of real MPs giving game tips and explaining how Parliament works. Teachers can also access every game activity individually (currently over 150), a game guide and teachers’ notes to help them get the most out of the resource for their students.]]> ...</description>
