Getting into Unit 2 = Community (R&W2, p17, Discussion point)

What we read

On page 17 of Skillful, Rogers and Wilkin (2013) use a large photograph and some discussion questions to introduce the topic of unit 2, community, which is also the title of this unit.

Rogers and Wilkin's questions


  • What different communities do you belong to?
    Think about your family, school, sports teams, and neighbourhood.
     
  • For all of the communities you thought of that you belong to, what are some common rules that they share? What are some rules specific to one community?
     
  • Why do we have rules? Why are they important? 
As usual, on page 17 Rogers and Wilkin also suggest some language to help you start your sentences, but it's up to you whether you use that or not. 

And since we want our responses to standalone, to make sense to readers who have not seen the questions, I suggest you spend a minute or two thinking, perhaps scribbling a few very quick, short notes, before you start writing your paragraph or two, or three, to tell us your responses to the questions.
