Aim To use the issue of armed drones to explore how to construct an argument using fact and opinion. Summary This workshop sees young people exercise critical thinking and argument on the subject of military drones. Drones or ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAVs) are increasingly used by many countries in war, including the UK and USA, but are they a good idea? Young people will learn about how drones are used, and their effects on civilians, and apply this learning to the construction of an argument. This is Workshop 3 of Fly Kites Not Drones and can be run as one session or as two shorter sessions.
