For our second lesson, we chose to use a video to spin it
off. The video was used to encourage the students to build their side to a debate.
Our video was a news story on a student who had severe food allergies. These
food allergies caused the school to enforce new hand washing and snack rules
that interrupted the other students’ learning time.
The students were able to connect with the story because it
was based on things they are familiar with like school, and the young girl was
around their age. That being said, the students were able to make connections
and see perspective when building their argument on this case. It was really
fun and interesting to hear all of the things the students had to say about
their side of the argument. We used a really great graphic organizer to help
the students build their argument.
