Use the video about Mount Snowden above, create a table suggesting reasons for and against having tourists visit.

Once you have made your table, use the features discussed in the teaching video to create a balanced argument.

This should consist of:

A conclusion - What do you think? Summarise and suggest whether or not you think tourists should be allowed to visit, give one reason here to support.
