The Way We Think We Are
Ideas for Classroom Use

  • Give students five or six statements adapted from the text before they read, and ask them to say if they are true or false, in their opinion. For example, "More Britons now think of themselves as working class than fifty years ago."
  • Before or after reading students could conduct surveys in their school/college using the same categories as in the article.
  • Comparisons can be made also with Polish statistics by using Rocznik Statystyczny.
