Instructional Ideas

• When discussing these topics, put up sentence starters and frames to help pupils form their responses
• Start with a small group discussion or pair share to scaffold the activity
• Have individuals spend some time before the discussion looking up vocabulary words and jotting down possible responses

Pros

• Includes a vocabulary list for the discussion
• High-interest topic will engage learners

Cons

• The resource would be stronger if definitions for the vocabulary words and a worksheet for the discussion were included
