Palm oil debate

Palm oil debate

(0)
Included is two lessons on a debate surrounding palm oil. For context before i completed these lessons i taught a vocab lesson on what was included in the debate, a comprehension around palm oil and model verbs. This lead into the for and against lesson (included). This for and against lesson goes into detail about palm oil and what is happening within Malaysia and Thailand and the rainforests. As the work they seperate and decide which statements are ‘for’ and which are ‘against’. Then they plan their writing on the next day. I made this more of a slow write to help them include everything they need with the chance to free write their for and against depending on what they choose.
