Discussing opinions

Today, we are going to have a discussion about a social issue, sharing our opinions about the issue and why we hold those opinions.

Before we start, we will create some basic rules about how we interact with each other.

While watching, write down two arguments for and two arguments against the discussed issue on your handout and answer the questions about the clip.

What did the news clip announce?

When will the ban take effect?

Who will the ban affect?

Is the ban supported by the Australian population?

What do you think?

Do you think a social media ban for people under 16 is a good idea? 

Write down your opinion and at least two arguments on your hand out under Round 1.
