Arguments and debates

We have recently been studying the language of persuasion by looking at advertisements in class. We also designed our own brochures for an imaginary Roman Museum.














And then we wrote a persuasive letter to Santa and that produced some very funny but persuasive arguments why we should get more presents this year.

But today was a thriller as we had our very first class debate between Maria H and Raul. The debate was titled 'Basketball is the best sport in the world' and Maria argued against whilst Raul argued for. They had 1 minute each to argue their points in front of the class who listened to every word and also watched the timer carefully! At the end of their minutes the class voted for the one who delivered the best argument and was in their opinion the most persuasive.

So well done Maria in winning the first 4C class debate.
