Micro-teaching

Work out a three-phase framework for a discussion activity by using the suggested material. The point of discussion is “Who should be blamed for school truancy?” The main “while-speaking” phase is given to you below. These are the opinions of the British people on the problem of truancy (the poll was conducted by the BBC Radio). The opinions are shown on the grid The learners are to make their way through the grid by choosing the opinions that they agree with and by giving comments to support their choice. When they come to one of the “exits” they will find out whether their position is in the “majority” or “minority” among the U.K. public.

Children may have a problem as school	Lessons are perhaps boring	Teachers must be rude and not co-operating	School is to blame
Children are all lazy these days	Children do not think of studies	Children a mischievous	Bring the birch back to class!
Parents must keep an eye on children	Parents must talk to their children	Morals should be taught at home	Parents should pay the fine
