Statements

Students practice expressing and defending their opinions. One in the group reads one of the statements and talks for a minute using the different phrases in the document  ‘Giving Opinions’. After the student has spoken for a minute, the other students give a short one- or two-sentence response to the speech.

The process is then repeated with a new statement and student.
