Description

Use some articles from the news, you can find everywhere on the internet on any topic. Find 5 to 8 articles, according to the size of the group. Find articles with comments under or add some comments yourself. Stick the articles around the room. Give the participants paper and pen and ask them to go through all the articles to read them carefully and write their opinion, agree or disagree or add any comments and express themselves in any way they want. They can also write something as a reply to the comments of the article. Give them some time to think and write and after that have a discussion about the articles and their answers. You can write down the disagreement hierarchy and categorize their comments, so they can understand the difference between disagreement and fighting.
