Activity 9
• Help your students distinguish
between the ideas they agree
with and the ones with which T
they disagree. Have them reflect
on the counterarguments for rack 48
their opinions, so that they can
defend themselves more easily.
• As you play the track, help your
students identify the differences
that indicate which opinions are
not related to the topic.
• Make sure there is enough time
for everyone’s voice to be heard
and to have time to think about
what has been said, as well as to
reflect upon the way in which it
is was said.

Activity 10
• Ask a student to explain the
diagram and start a group
discussion on how to share a
point of view. Remind students
that there are many ways to
articulate a point of view and the
example in the book is just one
of them.
• One way in which you could
expand this activity is to link it
to your students’ first language.
They will then become aware of
the similarities and differences
with regard to building
an argument.

• Another way to check how an argument could be composed is if students change their opinion and think
about what changes should be made so that the argument is understood.

Activity 11
• Remind your students of how they decided on their point of view in the previous activity. Ask how they
distinguished points of view from other kinds of phrases and to focus on deciding why a reason can be
considered as such.
