Talk Time
This week’s Talk Time poses an interesting question:
Should we only go on holidays in our country because long journeys are bad for the environment?
In our current Geography topic, we’re learning about a wide range of spaces and places across the globe.
In recent years, there has been growing concern about the environmental impact of long-distance travel. As people have become more aware of the impact that holidays and travel are having on our environment, a debate has emerged about whether individuals should limit their holidays to their own country to minimise environmental damage.
What is your opinion? Consider both sides of the argument and have a discussion with a parent/carer at home.
Remember to use the oracy skill ‘building on the views of others’ to frame your discussion. You may wish to use sentence stems such as:
I agree/disagree because…
- Adding to what has been said…
- I hear what you are saying. However…
- On the other hand, I think that…
Be ready to debate this topic in class next week.
