Placed a selection of students' arguments regarding the discussion of modern art on the board. Students will have to select 2 arguments from each list and add suporting comments or use some of the other arguments presented as supporting topics.

Discussed approaches that could be used when student groups present the questions on Americanah (pp 26-28 of the manual) on 14th and 16th November. Encouraged students who have not started reading the book yet to do so and set 12th October as date for selecting questions.

Discussed the structure of the Oxford Union debates and we looked at some of the speakers from the Oxford Union Debate "Islam is a religion of peace" so that students could see both well and badly constructed speeches. Students will watch the rest of the debate at home as this is available on You Tube.
