This is a fun one. When I first taught it I’d brought a piece of cake to class. I played the devil’s advocate, and the students had to make the arguments as to why I should share it with them. This lesson is kind of a dialogue between student and teacher. It’s a good lesson to practice persuasive speaking.

I got a cake to reward myself because I’m such a good teacher.  But should I share it with everyone instead?

I shouldn’t share my cake with you because you are students.  Students should only care about learning.

Also, it wouldn’t be good for your health if I shared cake with you.  I don’t want you to get heart disease from eating sugar.  Students already get too much sugar.

And… of course I want to eat all the cake myself.  I’d sit on my bed alone and eat cake in the dark.
