Using the language of thinking will enhance the success of opinion line dialogues.

Now give the same statement to all three groups, irrespective of which opinion line they are being asked to stand on.

For example, you could use the statement ‘Stealing is wrong’. One group can then consider if this is a fact or an opinion; the second group should consider if it is probably true or definitely true; the third group can think about whether it is a reasonable opinion or an unreasonable opinion. This in itself can create an interesting dialogue about the differences in responses between groups.

Here are some more example statements for you to use:

It is against the law to steal.

Robin Hood was right to steal from the rich to give to the poor.

Robin Hood was a moral man.

It is good to share.

If a teacher confiscates something from you, then this is not stealing.

More people will go to the moon in the twenty-first century than went in the twentieth century.

Religion has been the root cause for many wars.

Sunshine is good for you.

Too much sunshine is bad for you.

Serial killers should receive the death sentence.
