Tweeting #fracking

by Danny Tomkinson,
Trainee Teacher of Geography

Students were given background information on fracking, and at the end of the lesson they were asked to give their initial opinions on the subject. This was captured in a 'tweet' that was then collected and placed into Twitter format for students to then read during the next lesson, showing the different opinions of the class.  

 

We aim to provoke debate and discussion and also tolerance of other people's views and this gives us a great platform. It is most interesting to see what these students think - hopefully next lesson we can see if their opinions have been changed or influenced!
