Activity 5
• Ask students to draw a
diagram of each point of view.
• Go through the example
with them and describe the
strategies explicitly so they
can design a diagram.
• Show them that there is an
opinion at the top of the
diagram. Explain that if it is
presented on its own, it won’t
be a strong enough argument
to convince anyone.
• Go to the next row in the
diagram. Tell students that the
reason given for the opinion
supports the opinion by
elaborating on it.

• Explain that the last row of the
diagram illustrates the reason
and, therefore, provides
details for the opinion stated
in the first place.

• Read the examples with
students and ask them why
each example illustrates the
reason provided.

• Go through the REMEMBER
with students and read the
diagram to model what
is stated.
Activity 6
• Play the track so students know what is expected from them. You can ask them to tick the point of view
from the example in Activity 4 every time it is mentioned in the discussion. T

• Ask students to have the diagrams they drew in Activity 5 at hand. rack 3
• Encourage them to start the discussion about the cultural habit they want to talk about in this practice.
• Remind them to use their diagrams if they don’t remember the examples they used in the previous activity.
• Tell students a couple of minutes before time is up that they will have to conclude the discussion. You can
also ask them to summarize the main points stated to remind everyone of what they just talked about. This
will help them have a clear idea of what to vote for when selecting the topic of their conversation.
Activity 7
• Have each team vote on the best cultural habit to have a conversation about.
• Encourage them to summarize the main points as to why they selected that topic and to share them with
the rest of the class.
