Teacher notes — Discussion & Debate
The 'Graduation Gift' Plastic Surgery Trend Splits Korean High School Classrooms
- Don't force disclosure — some students may have had procedures or have strong family opinions; keep examples hypothetical unless a student volunteers their own.
- The line debate works best if you physically mark a line with tape or chairs; make students move rather than just raise hands.
- Watch for the discussion turning into comments about a specific classmate's appearance — redirect immediately to the fictional-friend task.
- If a student asks for legal facts (consent age, clinic regulation), say honestly that it varies and should be checked rather than guessing.
- This runs long with talkative classes; the pros/cons table alone can fill 20 minutes if you let students argue each line.
