Ms Geerse, [e-mail]

short game: two truths, one lie

I have four cats and four children

I have played football since I was seven and still do

I speak fluent Turkish

Please write two truths and one lie about yourself

We'll ask random people to share them

OR:

Write down 3 things you did during the holidays. We'll guess who did what.

Main rules

We listen to the person who has the floor

Almost all opinions are allowed, but we phrase them with respect for other people's feelings

Feedback for the teacher or others has to be constructive

We can make mistakes and say sorry

In short: speak your mind, but await your turn and do it with respect

What is social studies?

How does our society 'work'?

How do we think it should work?

more precisely (please write): 

Who takes the decisions?

What do we do with people who disobey the rules?

How do we divide wealth and welfare?

How do we deal with differences in lifestyle, culture and so on?
