Current events in the English classroom

The students were really eager to talk about Donald Trump's presidency. One class even clapped after I agreed to devote time to the topic. Doing research on the topics was great for their reading and writing skills. And discussing the issues with their classmates is a great way to practice their speaking skills. It was easy to say yes.

These are the topics that will be up for student-led discussion: 
- Trump’s cabinet picks
- Steve Bannon
- Trump’s Twitter use
- The temporary immigration ban
- Trump and the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare
- Trump and inauguration attendance
- Trump’s relationship with Russia
- The popular vs. electoral vote results
- Anti-Trump protests
- Trump’s relationship with journalists
- Trump's proposal to build a wall between Mexico and the United States

Have a look at the Adobe Spark video 3A students Leo and Eric created to open up their discussion about Trump and Twitter.

Until next time,
