Inside Story Year 5

Debating

At the end of Term 2, and throughout Term 3, we (Year 5 Students) learnt about debating as part of our English unit. The teachers organised us into random groups of four to five people, and gave us topics to debate about.  We got into our groups and came up with our arguments. It was fun working with new people and it was interesting listening to their different ideas. When doing rebuttals we watched the other teams’ argument videos and wrote a rebuttal against it. The process was fun but quite challenging. We really enjoyed it!
