ESL English Lesson: Referendum on family values
David Robinson
Today’s English lesson is inspired by one of my students. When discussing her weekend activities, she told us she had been helping to promote an upcoming referendum on family values that will take place shortly in Slovakia.
There are three questions:
1) Do you agree that only a bond between one man and one woman can be called marriage?
2) Do you agree that same-sex couples should not be allowed to adopt and raise children?
3) Do you agree that schools cannot require children to participate in sex education or euthanasia education if their parents don’t agree?
Discussion: Discuss the following… Family values…What are the family values in your country? How does religion come into the issue of family values? Is five years old too young to teach sex education? Should parents teach their children sex education before schools do? At what age should sex education be taught in schools?
