Was James breaking the law?
Would ‘hands free’ have prevented the accident?
In this case, mobile phone usage is prohibited by law. Can you think of any situations in which, although mobile phone use is legal, it’s not the ‘done thing’ to use a mobile phone?

3. In this lesson students are learning about:
reasons for restrictions on the use of mobile phones
responsible/acceptable use of mobile phones

4. At the end of this lesson students will be able to:
explain restrictions (legal and other) on mobile phone use and why they are imposed
give examples of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in respect of mobile phone usage

5. No phones allowed here 20 mins
Task: Work in pairs to complete a table in No Phones Allowed.doc listing places/situations where mobile phone use is prohibited, the reason for the ban and possible consequences of non-compliance.
Task: Compare your lists and differentiate between ‘must not’ and ‘should not’ restrictions.

6. Acceptable use 5 mins

9. And finally
How many of you have seen someone using a phone whilst driving?

Do sanctions alone suffice?
Savvy users are aware of the consequences and act responsibly.
