For and Against - two different sides to the story
With a partner, one of you reads Article 1 and the other reads Article 2
Article 1
Why I choose state education over private school
Article 2
Why I sent my child to a private school
Once you have both read your article, do the following:
- Present the article to each other and share your own thoughts on what it was about.
- Based on the articles and your research into state and private schools use post-it notes to organise your thoughts into points for and against private schools and then answer the following question: Would you like to go to a private school?
