  • Teaching Method The suggested teaching method is to introduce the theme and the writing task and t hen guide the students to practice specific skills and put language knowledge to produce their own writings. It is important to discuss what it means to be educated and how great thinkers lead the way for students to become educated through different ideas and opinions. The study of thoughtful writings on different disciplines by experts in their fields should spark discussion and action around topics of societal importance. The method, therefore, is to engage students in a dialogue about the questions and ideas raised in each text by exploring different perspectives, listening to the voices of others, and respectfully sharing their own experiences and thoughts.
