This document provides teaching tips and materials for a lesson on starting arguments "for and against" a topic. It discusses whether teenage criminals should be sent to adult prisons or juvenile prisons instead. Arguments presented include that juvenile prisons are better equipped to handle teenagers, who may have acted impulsively and regret their actions, and that adult prisons could be a bad influence. However, some argue that serious teenage criminals may influence other juveniles negatively or that teenagers understand the consequences of their actions. The document also covers grammar topics like using "to" and "for" to express reason, the passive voice, the causative form, and phrasal verbs.
