Debating

Last week we started debating in our class as part of English- Persuasive Writing. Debating provides the opportunity to engage critical thinking skills and present ideas logically. It also helps pupils to improve their communication skills, including how they deliver their opinions. Our class have engaged really well with this and we have had many volunteers to get up and debate in front of their class on different topics, already. So far, we have debated on the topics of 'Zoos' and 'Homework', proposing / opposing the motion. We will continue to debate on different motions over the coming weeks.
