Assignment
Parent Letter Day 1 Work in groups/pairs to brainstorm at least 10 things that your parents will not let you do (or 10 things that you don’t want to do that your parents want you to do.) Share ideas with the class. Choose one argument that you will take home to your parent(s). They will give you a list of opposing arguments (hopefully, 708 reasons why you can or cannot do something). Please ask them to sign their list of reasons and bring the list to class the next day. |
