Instructional Ideas

  • Reframe the question and ask class members to debate whether the UK should have voted to leave the EU

Classroom Considerations

  • The resource predates the Brexit referendum; however, information on the possible renegotiation options, the terms Prime Minister David Cameron wanted to renegotiate, and the glossary of terms are still of value

Pros

  • The six-page resource includes background information about the Brexit vote, links to useful resources, a description of the activity, worksheets, and a glossary 

Cons

  • Neither information nor links to debate format are provided
