Is It Worth It?
Individual work
- The teacher assigns one or more prompt cards and gives students a moment to read them.
- Students think about whether the option is worth it and prepare a short opinion.
- Give 30–60 seconds to think, then students speak, giving their opinion with reasons and an example.
- Focus on fluency and clear communication rather than correcting mistakes.
Group work (including breakout rooms)
- The teacher assigns one or more prompt cards to each pair or group.
- Students work in pairs or small groups (2–4 students) and discuss their ideas together, agreeing or disagreeing.
- After a few minutes, students switch partners or groups and explain their opinion again to a new classmate, who can ask follow-up questions.
Class Sharing
- Invite several students or groups to share their opinions with the whole class.
- Other students can ask short questions or say whether they agree or disagree.
- Keep feedback focused on clarity, interaction, and use of arguments.
Extra ideas
- Ask students to rank the options from most worth it to least worth it.
- Add a role-play (e.g. one student convinces another).
- Give a budget limit and ask students to choose what they would spend money on.
- Turn it into a quick class vote after each discussion.
