Arguments

We are learning to persuade people. It's important to be able to get your point of view across because we don't always agree with what we're told, what we read or what we hear. We learned all about writing a balanced argument.
We watched this Bitesize movie. It helped us understand more about an argument and how it is written. It was all about ... Should Teddy Bez leave the Big Babies toy shelf? We had to help Private Popper construct a balanced argument for and against - and we watched some of Teddy Bez's best dance moves! We loved it.





Then choose a topic and then argue against your opponent's point of view.

I watched the video and played the game as well and had lots of fun while learning. I certainly had to keep my eye on the hats. The bear should definitely stay on the shelf because he makes everyone feel better with his cool dance moves.
Can't wait to read some of your arguments Tipurangi 16.
