Preparing for a Class Discussion
Subject: Bring One Example Tomorrow
Hi class,
Tomorrow we’ll discuss how online reviews influence people’s choices. Read the two short articles posted on our class page and choose one point you agree or disagree with.
Bring an example that helps explain your view. You don’t need to prepare a speech, but you should be ready to explain your reason.
During the discussion, respond to a classmate’s idea before adding a new point. Our goal is to build a conversation, not take turns giving unrelated answers.
See you tomorrow,
Mr. Allen
VOCABULARY
Write the words or expressions from the message that are new to you or that you want to review.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Share your thoughts. Use details from the message to support your answers.
How is the preparation different from writing a full speech?
Why does Mr. Allen ask students to respond to a classmate before adding a new point?
What would successful participation look like according to this message?
