Over the past few weeks of online learning, the grade 4 classes have been honing their debating skills! Each week during our unit on persuasive writing we have had a debate, with motions as diverse as ‘Every school should wear a uniform’ and ‘It is good to be famous’. The students have had the task of conducting research to prepare their arguments beforehand and everyone has come with something to say! We have been working hard on developing counter arguments and delivering our opinions in a persuasive manner. It has been wonderful to see how engaged the students have been and how much they enjoy debating!
