Each student is to decide whether or not they believe that Australia treats Asylum Seekers too harshly. They have been working on this assignment for the last week and a half in class and will be given until the end of this week to finish writing their presentation. Their talk should be around 4-5 minutes long and they have spend the last few classes researching the topic, to ensure that they have an informed opinion. They are also required to have some sort of visual aid such as a power point presentation. All students should be prepared to present on the first English class next term, so if they have not finished they will have to complete it over the holidays. They have all been given an instruction sheet that has some useful points for both sides of the issue and some websites for their research. Good luck Year 7's and I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
