Activity: Role-Play Debate, Dividing the students into pairs or small groups. Assign one group to represent Ashim and the other to represent his father. Have them discuss a scenario, such as Ashim wanting to pursue something different from what his father has planned for him. The students should try to argue their assigned character’s point of view, and after the debate, have a class discussion on the different perspectives.
