In groups of 4:

Each member of your group will act as one member of one of the four generations studied:

• Baby boomers
• Gen X
• Millennials
• Gen Z

YOU WILL NOT CHOOSE WHO YOU PLAY. 

First: pick a tweet. Read it and find the arguments in favour or against for each generation.

Then, organise your scene: choose the generation who is going to start the discussion, the one who is going to be in favour, the one against, etc. 

Make a list of all the phrases and vocabulary you might need for each role. 

Once it's all done, you will come to the board, pick your Gen card and act out your scene in front of the class.
