Town Hall
Using a current event article, students discuss and research the central issue and different perspectives around the story.
Once students have gathered enough information, hold a town hall meeting in which students roleplay different perspective holders. Teachers will act as a guide and group moderator.
This activity requires students to use their imagination to consider different perspectives, research current events, roleplay, and use critical thinking with text.
