Literacy

Over the last couple of weeks, some of the students in Room 7 have been learning how to argue a proposition, by taking different sides in an argument. We have learned that it is OK to agree or disagree with a statement, as long as we have evidence to support what we are arguing.


During Reading time, we have been exploring the proposition that “Sharks are very mis-understood animals”. Our inquiry has focused on choosing a side of the proposition to argue, then finding, recording and using information to support our position.
