@ Monique: Hey, I once did a worksheet: which is the best snack, apples or potato crisps? and I managed to find arguments in favour of apples!!! Ridiculous nonsense. And what are you on about - power points are much easier to make than all the amazing wss you produce! @Bruce, erm, ferrets are nice enough, at a safe distance, but erm, they pong!  Stinky ferrets and they bite you!  Whereas, as we know, cats are perfect angels. |

@Monique, I will finish this ppt later today and email it to you. I hope you will take the challenge and maybe add some slides? And a few cliparts? The reason I am preparing it is for my colleagues at school, although of course I will upload it here as it�s a joint effort. The way GCSE is taught in the UK really lends itself to the use of power point. I don�t know any mainstream teachers who don�t use powerpoint. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.I am using them all, even ferrets: for and against. Lynne Edit: It might be tomorrow, I hate deadlines.  Powerpoints for: focuses the class�s attention; bright and colourful at no cost as they don�t have to be printed; there is animation, so points can fly in; fully editable; variety of layouts available. Against: can be boring if every lesson is presented via powerpoint.

How about: Having long hair (for women) FOR: You can style it different ways; it stops the back of your neck getting sunburned; it�s considered more traditionally attractive AGAINST: It needs different products to take care of it (shampoo, conditioner); it�s time-consuming to brush and style; it can get tangled easily School uniforms FOR: Easy to choose your clothes in the morning; you feel professional and ready to work; it avoids bullying because of not having fashionable clothes AGAINST: It suppresses pupils� individuality; often the styles or materials are uncomfortable; if it gets damaged or dirty you don�t have a choice of anything else to wear Learning a foreign language (controversial...) FOR: You can get to know many more people; you have access to information in different languages and so see different points of view; it may help to stave off dementia AGAINST: AI translators are getting more and more efficient; it can be very hard work to remember lots of new vocabulary; we should be travelling less anyway to protect the environment |

Thank you, FrauSue, it is much easier for me to copy these arguments onto my powerpoint than trawl through and plagiarise the work of karagozian. That�s a joke but the thank you is very genuine. I�m up to slide 23. My job now is to go through and insert a task on every slide. Thanks again, any more are very welcome! Lynne |

Why not. That could boost my morale which is rather down with this covid thing. It�s my son�s birthday today. He lives 15 minutes from our place. Couldn�t see a glimpse of him because of the confinement. A bit hard. Though i shouldn�t complain as so many people have to struggle through hardships.
And what about FOR or AGAINST covid tests. Oh i feel that i am gliding into slippery areas.
I am for JOINT work. And not joints.
Sunny uncontaminated hugs Lynne.
Don�t forget to wash your hands with soap. I still have loads. |

These are hard times, strange times. I�m sorry you couldn�t see your son on his birthday Monique. I think this has caught us all unawares - we are just not prepared for this kind of thing. Our lives have not been interrupted by anything like this for such a long time.... Anyways I am sick to death of my ppt now  , so I will pick it up again after a breather of a few days. I�m sending it to you now. Notice the animations - the tasks fly in! That is about the limit of my expertise with ppts! I am a technophobe. We have no eggs or bread, but trying to get by. Still have a good few bottles of vino rosso and prosecco, thank god. Take care, stay safe, Lynne Edit: Oh, soap! Can you remember when your dear brother-in-law sent me huge quantities of his marvellous products, including huge bars of soap??? I was overwhelmed.
