Land proposal

A discussion task where students consider what to do with a piece of land which has become available, considering the issue from various viewpoints. 

The detailed resource includes the fictional scenario, seven council proposals, some pointers to help students to consider which proposal they would choose and form arguments for and against each, as well as some prompt cards for students to assume roles based on the characters whose opinions are involved in the debate.

You could use this task to support students in forming a strong opinion about a topical issue, to discuss climate issues or to help students practise forming arguments for a persuasive writing task.
