Objective

Today's lesson will explore the topic: Should or Should Not Kids Be Allowed to Have a Cell Phone? We'll dive into our thoughts and feelings on this subject and share our opinions in a fun and creative way!

Warm-Up Activity: "The Phone Debate Showdown!"

Setting the Scene

Imagine you're sitting in a big, fancy debate room. You see a shiny podium and the audience is buzzing with excitement. Today, you're going to be a part of The Phone Debate Showdown! Half of you will be on Team "Yes," arguing that kids should have cell phones. The other half will be on Team "No," arguing that kids should not have cell phones.

What to Do

  1. Think-Pair-Share:

    • Take a moment by yourself to think about whether you believe kids should or should not have cell phones. Why do you feel that way?
    • Share your thoughts with a partner next to you.

  2. Preparation Time:

    • After discussing, teams will have a few minutes to come up with 2-3 strong reasons for their argument.
    • Use your imaginations! You can pretend to be a famous person who used a cell phone, or make up a story about someone whose life changed because of it.

  3. Debate Showdown:

    • Each team will present their strongest arguments to the class.
    • After both sides present, we’ll hold a quick vote to see which side made the best case!

Conclusion

After the debate, we will discuss how everyone felt and what new ideas we learned. Then, we'll read a short story that touches on technology and friendship, which will help us understand both sides even better!
