You and a partner will pick a true or false fact out of an envelope provided by your teacher. These will include:
Muslims usually prey four times a day. True or false.
Most countries in the middle east have democratic governments. True or false.
Israel is the only country in the middle east that is NOT a predominantly muslim country. True or false.
And others your teacher will add.
Do some research to find out if your statement is true or false, then create a paragraph of information that adds more detail to your answer
I.e. If you had the question, 'women in Middle East countries must always have their hair covered when in public': true or false, and you answered true, then you would include information in your paragraph on: why this is so and what might be some of the implications if women do not follow this rule?
