The Conscription issue in Australia during WW1
 
  It is 1916 and you are 17 years old, and a guy! (Sorry girls!) Read carefully the following web page, and then
in your book, describe an argument you had with the 17 year old kid next door (neighbour). You were against conscription,
he was for it. (By the way, your name is O'Flarrity!)

Video (web cam) a role-play of the argument. Play some 'arguments' to the class and discuss what points or issues could have
been included.
