We’ve had a heated couple of lessons over the last two days exploring the key issues that are central to the most topical question in Britain right now:
Should Britain remain in the European Union?
We started off by making sure we all knew what the EU was and what the referendum was all about before discussing five key issues: immigration, terrorism and security, jobs and employment, economy and the cost of being in the EU. In groups, we found out more about the remain and leave opinions on these matters and started developing our own opinions.
The following day, we decided which side we’d like to debate on (and interestingly had a 50:50 split) and prepared our group for a debate.
We’re all seasoned debaters now so we took to the stage like naturals to argue it out with our opposition and convince the audience to vote like us.
Then, having learnt about both sides ourselves and debated our hearts out, we gave our final vote.
