Discuss.
A. What similarities do you find among the lists at your table?
B. What differences do you find among the lists at your table?
Next, list the advantages and disadvantages of being young on the "young" sheet. Share accordingly.
Think about it - which is better?
Now for a couple of quick writes -
A. What is your best memory from youth? (Write for five minutes. There is a space in CANVAS. )
B. Write about an experience you had with an older person - someone over 55.
