we started work on preparing persuasive arguments so that we can debate with each other. The children were given a profession of a person who is in hot air balloon that is out of control and headed for a deserted island. If two people don’t jump overboard then the balloon will not make it to the island. We’ll let you know who the class decides should take the jump!

Update – After appraising the arguments and rebuttals, the artists and social workers were voted off the balloon. Well done everyone, very persuasive arguments on display!
