In class one we are going to look at volunteering, why people volunteer and whether it really is beneficial or not. We will focus on one company in particular, and how their charitable work may have more negative consequences for the local communities than benefits. We will then debate how effective voluntourism is and how change can be brought about.

This will involve structuring the writing, including the introduction and main paragraphs (see pdf below). We will also look at some vocabulary related to this topic which we can use in our essays.
