Grand Conversation / Vocabulary Games

Grand Conversation - We are getting better! ...Continue discussing this question tonight at the dinner table with your parents or via 'face talk' with your friends


The adoption of the 1979 ‘One Child Policy’ in China is both justifiable and necessary to control the excessive population growth in the country.

Remember:
Banned - I think, I agree/disagree
  • You must quote back another person's opinion/articles/movies when possible
  • Pose alternatives - "Imagine if..."
  • Show empathy towards...
  • Use quotes/statistics when possible
  • Avoid, 'sitting on the fence'
  • Use advanced vocabulary  when possible ( cliche, proposterus,  etc...)

Congratulations on another great day of testing. Only 1 more to go. How will you make sure that you give your very best tomorrow?


Be thinking about this topic and have ideas to contribute to Friday's Grand Conversation -
