LC: To write a paragraph with arguments ‘against’

Today, we are going to write the next paragraph of our shared discussion text - arguments ‘against’ the extension of the school day. Within this paragraph, we will include the following arguments:

 

  • the length of the school day would be too long; children would lose concentration
  • children have other commitments after school hours
  • children’s mental health and well-being could be affected; children need down-time

Once we have completed our shared writing today, you will need to write your own version of this part of our discussion texts.

 

Today is another opportunity to use some of the cohesive devices that we have been practising in class.
