____________________What do you think about Hong Gildong?____________________
Teacher: We read the 'Hong Gildong' book in the last class. The book describes Gildong who is doing good deeds. But some of our classmates thought he was a thief.
Eric: Ya, like me. I still don't think he is a good person.
Teacher: Yes Eric. Your thoughts help me think of a debate. I think it's an interesting theme for a debate.
Bella: Oh! It sounds fun!
Jackson: Yes! Let's do it!
Teacher: Okay then Let's start! I will explain about it first.
Teacher: Hong Gildong helps poor people. But he tricks the rich nobles and steals from them. What do you think about Hong Gildong? Is he a righteous person? Or is he a thief? What do you think?
Ryan: Well, I think he is a righteous person. He helps the poor people who are having a hard life.
Teacher: I see Ryan. Who can speak against him?
Luis: Me! It's true that Hong Gildong helps the poor. But he steals from the rich. Even if he helps people with that money, it's not right to steal from people.
Teacher: I see Luis. Then Let's continue this debate!
Aubree: Can I speak teacher?
Teacher: Of course. Go on.
Aubree: Luis is right about stealing. If Hong Gildong just steals from honest people, it's wrong. But he steal from bad nobles. They take advantage of the poor poeple and get money. I think that's almost the same as stealing.
Teacher: That's a very good remark, Aubree!
Eric: Can I speak teacher?
Teacher: Yes Eric. Go on.
Eric: But the poor cheated other people when they sold something. Like the candle seller fill sand in the candle and sold it. I think poors are doing the same thing as the nobles.
Teacher: Oh! I didn't think of that. Who can speak against him?
Bella: I will. But the poor got cheated by the nobles. They have reason to cheat others. They are so poor. And because of bad nobles.
Teacher: Good. Who can share thought for us this time?
Zelda: I will. If they have reason or not, I think it's bad for any reason they have. And Hong Gildong did it.
Ring~ Ring~
Teacher: It's recess time!
Jackson: Wait teacher witch team is the winner?
Teacher: There are no winners and losers. We are just sharing our thoughts.
Aubree: Even if we can't win after this headache, it is fun.
Pablo: Yes. Let's do this again next time. I want to speak next time.
Teacher: Okay, classmate. In fact, I had fun to. After we read the next book, let's do this again!
Students: Yay~!
Hope you enjoy it. Bye :)
