Debate

L.O: I can express an opinion on familiar subjects and understand that people have differing opinions.  

L.O: I can respond to what I have heard, whilst giving my own viewpoints.  

L.O: I can summarise my point in group discussions e.g., drawing out key ideas, bringing the discussion to a close, feeding back to others. 

What makes a successful debate?

Why is pupil voice important?

Let's check why pupil voice is so important...

What have the meetings said this term?

Some of the suggestions to come from the box so far:

1. In assemblies the book that is chosen should be uploaded as a video, because people might be sick and want to listen to the book at home.

2. Make animal houses for Conker Land.

3. More year 5/6 netball matches.

4. Can we do more outdoor learning and more creative writing?

5. I think we should plant more trees and maybe make a butterfly garden.

6. More ECO outdoor stuff.

However, are all pupil suggestions appropriate?

Tasc 1: 

Should all school council suggestions be agreed to?

1. Use your placemat planners to magpie sentence starters.

2. Bullet point your ideas on if all school council ideas should be agreed to or not.

Cofia: A debate will show both sides of the argument. 

Positives and Negatives.

3. Decide who will feedback your different points.

4. Collaborate and work as a team.

Evaluate and assess the effectiveness of your team.

Were you successful as a group?

What changes would you recommend next time?

Tasc 2 DCF:

Create a Sway presentation on Office 365 to show your debate points about if we should agree to all school council suggestions.

What key words and sentences are you going to include?

What images will support your text?

How will you make it catchy for your audience?

Cofia: Use your notes from your placemat to help you plan and create your Sway.
