Do you think all
memories are
essential?
Mock debate

• Students will have an informal debate.

Half of the class will think about how
memories define us. This side will argue
that all memories are essential, even the
bad ones and they will have supporting
reasons. The other half of the class will
argue that a society does not need any bad
or past memories to function.

white make you feel? Why?
