1. In groups discuss what your understanding of the term 'collective identity' is.

Collective Identity is the sense of belonging to a group. The bond between the group of people is so strong that they would risk their own lives for what they believe in.  

2. Then discuss what you understand 'Britishness' to mean? What does being British mean to you?

A stereotypical understanding of Britishness is when you show strong characteristics and patriotism to the British culture. This could be having the Union Jack inside or outside your house, but influences such as class, here you come from in Britain and foreign influences, within Britain have caused a change to what Britishness means to individuals. To some people Britishness could simply mean the bad weather, or good British food. 

Speaking the language. Bad weather.

3. Blog a summary of how the clips from Passport to Pimlico construct a representation of Britishness.

This creates a representation of Britishness because people in Britain believe that it is important where you originally come from.
The film shows British are stubborn and fight for what they believe in. This shows Britishness because
British people helping each other out.
It rained a lot - the weather.
