A large oak tree stands in a field. Shall it be cut down?

1. Write clearly and carefully as many arguments as you can on each side.

2. Discuss arguments in class.

3. The class may be divided into two groups and have a debate. One way to arrange this would be to have one point stated on one side and then one on the other until all have been given. Then volunteers on each side may be called upon to answer arguments on the other side.
