Student activity

Students read a persuasive email which argues the case for the innovation, risk-taking and resilient children of the 50s, 60s and 70s. They select rhetorical features from the text and respond with their own view on the topic.

There is a writing task which then asks students to use the ideas from the email to write an article for a parenting magazine about the virtues of these parenting methods (but within a modern context).
