From their point of view, they would be behaving in a good or proper manner. From your point of view, they might be behaving very oddly. Even if people behave in the same way, are they behaving that way for the same reason? If you don't understand another person's point of view, do you think you might misunderstand them? Could that lead to problems that might be completely unnecessary? Of course! It's important to try and understand other peoples points of view, and important for them to try and understand yours.

Tourism is becoming more and more important - especially for those learning English. Here is a two part lesson which focuses on the question of developing tourism as an industry in your local town. Students need to develop concepts, discuss local economic problems and solutions to those problems, think about possible negative impacts and finally make a presentation. These two lessons provide a great long term project for upper level students, while offering an opportunity to use English in a number of "authentic" settings.

Extractions: The Great Energy Debate A Web of Resources Gold: From the Mine to You Natural Resources Extraction Wild Horses: Public Property? Complete Index The Great Energy Debate Overview: Energy resources keep the lights on and the wheels turning around the world. The United States, which comprises only 5 percent of the world's population, consumes about 30 percent of the total energy. Traditionally, the United States has imported much of its energy resources from other countries. Oil from the Middle East is the largest energy import. This dependency places us in a highly vulnerable position, both economically and politically. Some of the ways suggested to lessen this dependency are to use more of our public lands for energy production and to invest in renewable energy. Both of these strategies are controversial because of the environmental, economic, political, and cultural implications associated with them. This lesson explores the controversial issues surrounding the energy debate in the United States. Students will research recent initiatives being taken in this area and analyze their implications. They will then assume the roles of pivotal stakeholders in this debate and testify to a mock congressional committee responsible for making decisions about

Extractions: Front page Lesson Plans Language Arts General Raging Debates As we near the end of the year, tempers are hot and everyone is stressed. As students complete final assignments and tests, you may be searching for a constructive classroom activity that doesn't require a high level of planning. Consider a debate! Tackle a current event or a legal battle and you're sure to start a conversation. Before you jump in though, consider these tips from some of our T2T contributors... Karen "Maybe you could just split the group and assign them roles to play. (On the topic of "Violence in Films") One group could be actors, the other a group of concerned parents. One group could be directors, the other teens who want tighter regs; one group could be industry execs, the other a group of movie critics. Or.........try any combination of the above. Once the groups have been assigned, you could just propose a resolution that you create. Then, the debate could start from there." - Wade

RedNova News: Evolution Debate; Lesson Plans Go To Board February 12, 2004. Evolution debate; lesson plans Go To Board. Dayton Daily News Changes made in biology at 10grade level COLUMBUS http://www.rednova.com/news/stories/2/2004/02/12/story103.html
Extractions: Changes made in biology at 10-grade level COLUMBUS - The state Board of Education is expected to approve science lesson plans today after a committee made some changes in a controversial 10th-grade biology lesson that critics say will put "intelligent design" in Ohio's science classes. The board's standards committee voted Monday to approve the science lessons, but only after making changes to the controversial Critical Analysis of Evolution lesson. The committee deleted two citations in the lesson's bibliography - one that was incorrect and another that referenced work by Jonathan Wells, a noted promoter of intelligent design. Left intact in the lesson plans are references to Web sites that the National Academy of Sciences say include information touting intelligent design. Scientists have also complained of errors in the lesson plans that form a pattern to support intelligent design. Intelligent design is the idea that life is so complex that a higher being must have created it. Two years ago, Ohio made headlines when it considered mandating teaching intelligent design in the science classrooms. The state board adopted standards in December 2002 that did not mandate the teaching of intelligent design but did not prohibit it either.
