# Moving the Goalpost Question Pack: Critical Thinking, Comic, Comprehension **Price:** $0.00 AUD **Seller:** TeachBuySell Seller **Year Levels:** noYearLevel **Subjects:** english ## Description (seller-submitted) Stalin promised Soviet miners better food, housing, and pay for hitting coal targets. They hit 35 million tonnes, then 70, then 95, then 152 - and the promised rewards never came. Moving the Goalpost is when someone sets a condition, you meet it, and instead of following through on what was promised, they add a new one. The finish line keeps moving. The deal never gets honoured. The person in charge never has to pay - because 'done' keeps changing. You hear it everywhere: "You got a B+. If you'd got an A, I would have said yes."

This free expansion pack teaches you to say "we agreed on one condition - I met it, and either we go back to that agreement or you need to admit the deal has changed" - through a true historical story, real-life examples, and activities that feel nothing like homework. It's the companion to the full Moving the Goalpost Activity Pack and a free preview of the upcoming book, 24 Fallacies and the Historical Disasters That Followed. ⭐ Rated 5.0 by people who now win arguments THE STORY INSIDE Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1924 to 1953.
