VCE ORAL Year 12

To be honest, I would advise you against taking this side in regard to this topic. It will be very hard to remain politically correct, which is a big problem considering that most teachers (especially English teachers  ) are left-leaning. All teachers should be impartial markers, but hey, everyone is human and prone to subconscious bias! For the sake of pragmatism (i.e. achieving a high mark!), I would suggest switching sides. However, if you are passionate and can present nuanced arguments against the proposition, by all means go for it, but just remember to be aware of the sensitivities of this debate. Good luck! 

Our class has to choose topics from a list, and i was one of the last to pick and this was only one of the 3 or so remaining topics

Hi everyone! I was thinking of doing my oral presentation on the harassment of women online in conjunction with the incident of Clementine Ford, however I'm not sure of which direction I'm meant to take. Am I supposed to argue about the whether the treatment of Clementine Ford was appropriate, or am I supposed to use the incident as a springboard for the broader issue of harassment of women online? Or is there another direction I can argue about?

Thank you for your help!

The general way to go is to take a general contention and use specific incidents as anecdotes

Hi everyone, for my speech I am trying to come up with an alliteration to describe refugees: tormented, terrified...but I am struggling to come up with the last word. Any thoughts?
