Arguments?

Room One have discovered that they love sharing their opinions and giving reasons why they think something and that is what argument writing is all about.
We have been exploring some tools to help us organise our thinking so that we can write excellent arguments.

1/ Lines of continuum
At one end you very strongly agree with something and at the other end you totally disagree.


2/Thinkers' Hats - Yellow and Black
When we use the yellow hat we are giving reasons that we see as being positive.
If we use the black hat we are giving negative reasons.
They help us to remember whether we agree or disagree.

Here is our statement can you work out what we thought?

Check back later to find out what our fantastic reasons are.
I wonder who will use their black hat and who will use their yellow hat?
