Introduction (5 minutes)
Begin with a brief discussion on the importance of analyzing issues from multiple perspectives and how it
helps in understanding complex problems.
Task: Students will work in pairs to read a selected passage from Learner's Skills Book 5 and identify key
points from two different perspectives within the source.
Discussion: Pairs will share their findings with the class, discussing how understanding different
perspectives can change our interpretation of information.
Task: Students will individually analyze a simple graph or set of data from the downloadables, identifying
any patterns or trends.
Application: Each student will write a short paragraph using the identified pattern to support an argument
related to the topic of the data.
Task: In small groups, students will discuss a local issue presented in Downloadable 2.25, exploring its
causes and consequences.
Outcome: Groups will present how this local issue might be connected to global problems, fostering a
broader understanding of the issue's impact.
Task: As a class, brainstorm potential actions that could be taken to address the local issue discussed in
Activity 3.
Critical Thinking: Students will justify why they believe their suggested action could make a positive
difference, encouraging problem-solving and critical thinking.
Closure (5 minutes)
Recap the day's activities, highlighting how each activity contributed to the learning objectives.
Encourage students to think about how the skills learned today can be applied to other subjects and their
everyday lives.
Assign a reflective homework task where students write about a local issue they care about, using the
analysis skills learned in class to suggest and justify a solution.
