Over the past two weeks, Year 5 have been looking at persuasive arguments in literacy. On Tuesday this week, we had the chance to debate a number of motions to help us with using persuasive language and how to structure an argument. The motions we debated were Art is better than PE; Zoos should be banned; and Children should be able to learn to drive form the age of 10. For each debate we had a proposition and an opposition team. Both teams had time to research their argument before writing it up. They then debated against each other before the rest of the class voted on which side they agreed with.
