I like the open questions we think about and get asked. When I listen to others they help me change my views on things. I like acting it’s much easier to learn.
I like the atmosphere of the lesson. I feel I can say my opinion on serious topics without worrying people will judge me.
Auschwitz was just a photograph then when I went there, it was different.
It’s fun learning about different religions and beliefs. It helps you to learn respect.
This is the one subject that helps me in other subjects – for example analysis in History.
