Teachers from bilingual schools in Argentina and the region
Arguments play a very important role in our lives as citizens, as learners, in all of our relationships, and in our own decision making. But do we teach children what arguments are, and how they can be really creative and helpful? How can we help children avoid having upsetting and angry arguments? This day will help teachers and pupils enjoy the Art of Argument. We’ll look at the key elements of being “reason-able” (reasons for / against, examples, evidence, conclusions and consequences etc.) in a world full of bad arguments both off and online. Teachers will leave with some great activities and resources to develop critical thinking and emotional resilience with their students.
