3.1: demonstrate sensitivity to the particular speaking and listening situation
==== 5.1: answer their own questions and those of others by selecting relevant information from a variety of text - use a range of reference texts and a database or an electronic search as an aid in the research and selection process ====

This is a fun and interesting way to research an important modern issue. It allows students to think critically, use effective communication skills and analyze things from various viewpoints.
==== On the first day, we will explain the project and instruct the children on how to structure a fair and proper debate. We will then provide them with a list of world issues that we had discussed in previous classes. Each child will be assigned a partner and during the next lesson, one will research the opposing argument and one will research the supporting argument using teacher-approved websites. During the final day, the children will come together and debate upon their selected issues, and will record themselves using the Aviary online software. ====
