Literacy: persuasive writing

Today we looked at a written argument about children watching TV. One side of the argument said that TV is a good thing which helps children learn. The other side of the argument said that TV is a bad thing which takes up children's time and shows them unsuitable programmes. A good argument should always have two sides.

At home please look at what we wrote in our literacy books. You can also find it on the board above. Think about what would be written in an argument about school uniform. What reasons can you think of that school uniform is a GOOD thing? What reasons can you think of that school uniform is a BAD thing? There is no need to write anything. Make sure you have plenty of good ideas in your head ready for the next literacy lesson.
