The Great Debate

Room 138 Debates

Students prepared speeches to persuade their classmates and myself on what they think needs to change or be added to our school. A majority of the class chose the topic of lunch and made some interesting statements. I have been convinced to add more Scholastic News time in our weeks and will be trying to find more time for writing. The students spoke and I heard! 
Great job 3/4! 
To start us in our debate mode, one of our Scholastic News articles posed an interesting debate for us; Should Kids Be On Instagram? 
This was a wonderful teaching moment on many levels. We talked about internet safety, we discussed our opinions with factual information, and we found something interesting about our classes input on the age kids should be aloud to join social media. We are going to have a great adventure through this unit.
