We have been learning about life in Victorian times. We have been learning about what life was like for children during Queen Victoria’s reign.

We have researched websites and listened to audio clips of the different jobs that young children had to do.

We have investigated the difference between life today and Victorian life  -comparing jobs, transport, the landscape and buildings by studying pictures of modern day and Victorian times.

We used this information to write a balanced argument giving reasons for and against. We tried to use appropriate vocabulary and a range of punctuation.

Would I have liked to live in Victorian times ?

L.I – I am learning to create a balanced argument. 

The first point in favour of this argument that I would like to make is I would have liked to have lived in Victorian times because there were nice clothes and no school.

Secondly I would have liked living in Victorian times because I could learn about Queen Victoria and about Victorian times and I could have visited the Great Exhibition in 1851.

However against this argument I wouldn’t like to live in Victorian times because there were no cars and no electricity things that we have in modern times.

In support of this, today there is lots of electronic stuff and I really enjoy playing my Xbox when I get home and they wouldn’t have had it in Victorian times.

To conclude I feel that I would prefer to live in modern times because in Victorian times there were no cars and no electricity and no Xbox’s so I wouldn’t have liked to live in Victorian times.
