<p>This lesson requires students to be part of a court case whether to urbanise the area of New York or not. Students read the breaking news and then answer a leveled task question. This is a fun and exciting lesson as well as educational, as students proceed to take sides and bring forth the opinion they believe in. Students writing skills are put to use as they choose to either be a prosecutor in this case and speak against the Mayor’s ideas or defend him. Once students have finished the task, some come out and present their ideas. Based on the persuasiveness of their speech, the students then vote on their ballots. The student with the most ballots win. Case closed. Note: All points included in this lesson are fictional and are for the sole purpose of the students revision on urban and rural areas.</p>
