Learning to persuade others to take on your point of view is really important.  We decided that it was important to be able to convince (with reason) others what we had reasonable opinions about.  Our class have come up with three particular issues that we wanted to discuss:

• Why we should bring back jubilee snacks
• Why we should be allowed to wear outdoor shoes indoors
• Why we should be giving out free school meals to everyone instead of just the P1-P3s

This week we have written down our reasons for and against these ideas so that when we are convincing other people, we are also sure of the pro’s and con’s of an argument before deciding on what side to argue for.
