Title: All sides of the issue
Description: Based on the principles of cooperative learning strategies, this dynamic resource promotes language development and critical thinking skills through photocopiable readings, discussions, and problem-solving activities on poignant issues from immigration to environmental pollution. Each of the five issues is presented from four points of view at four different language levels. Students work in cooperative jigsaw groups to discuss and present each side of the issue to their classmates. Great for multilevel groups, this resource also includes introductory material and activities to cooperative learning and the jigsaw approach.
