Podcast: Legalizing Marijuana
“Doesn’t the idea of making nature illegal seem a bit unnatural?”
~ Bill Hicks, comedian
This week’s podcast comes from our NEW Mini Debates lesson on Legalizing Marijuana. Is this a subject that your students are comfortable talking about? We think it makes for a great debate! This topic raises issues about health, government, crime, and ethics. In the related lesson, English learners read a short overview about how views are changing in favor of decriminalizing marijuana in many countries and states. Students review useful vocabulary and check their comprehension. They also learn useful expressions for expressing strong opinions.
