Handout C: Reformers’ Plans
Reformers’ Plans
Directions: Review the ways you wish to reform your assigned club and decide how you will make your case to join.
| Reforming Football Club
You believe football is too violent a sport and should be banned from schools. The injury statistics have convinced you that you are correct. If adults want to assume the risk of playing, then they can make that decision, but minor children should not be allowed to play. In order to bring about your goal of ending the playing of football in schools, you decide to join the football club. |
Reforming Music Club You believe that music encourages dangerous lifestyles and all music except classical melodies should be banned from school. Violent lyrics, injuries at concerts, and the number of musicians who have died from drug-related incidents have convinced you that you are correct. In order to bring about your goal of banning all music except classical in schools, you decide to join the music club. |
| Reforming Literature Club You believe that almost all books (except certain morality-based stories) should be banned from schools. Books that include magical characters like witches, wizards, vampires, or werewolves, are very damaging to the minds of young children. In order to bring about your goal of ending the stocking of library shelves with these dangerous books, you decide to join the literature club. |
Reforming Computer Club You believe that computers are unhealthy for young people. Obesity statistics and high rates of social isolation have convinced you that you are correct. Kids should play outside and exercise rather than sit in front of a screen all day, and schools have an obligation to promote healthy lifestyles. Computers also provide access to immoral materials. In order to bring about your goal of banning computers from schools, you decide to join the computer club. |
