Issues for debate

 

 

Please hover over the 'Issues for debate' tab to view options.

Contained within this section are several issues about rhino hunting and a legal trade in rhino horn, which can be used as an educational activity for older children and adults in one of two ways:

 

1. Introduce the subjects briefly, and then get a classroom discussion going about the pros and cons of each. You can add in other suggestions if the discussion needs new ideas.
2. Alternatively, let everyone read the articles, and then ask two people to speak for five minutes on each side of the debate.

 

Hold a vote before, and a vote afterwards, to see whether the debate actually changed anyone’s minds.
