Imagine you are a pupil in a school which does not have a school council. Write a speech to be given in a school assembly, giving your views on whether or not students should participate in decisions made about the school. In your speech you should:
- Evaluate the views given in both texts about student participation
- Give your own views, based on what you have read, about whether a school council would benefit students and teachers. Base your speech on what you have read in both texts, but be careful to use your own words. Address both of the bullet points. Begin your speech: 'Thank you for coming to listen to me today ...'. Write about 250 to 350 words.
