Homework
due Friday, 29th June 2018:
We have been learning all about
discussion texts and balanced arguments. For your homework this week, I'd like
you to write a discussion of the following question:
Do dogs make better pets than cats?
Remember
to:
-Write an introduction
that explains what you are discussing.
-Write
arguments FOR and AGAINST, backed up with good reasons.
-Include a conclusion
that sums up and explains your decision.
Try to
include the following:
-
Sentence
starters to add information to your argument (Furthermore, In addition, Indeed,
Moreover).
-
Sentence
starters to introduce a different side of the argument (However, On the other
hand, In contrast).
-
Conjunctions
(because, as a result, hence).
-
Generalisers
(some people, many pet owners).
- Interesting words to introduce opinions (think,
claim, suggest, believe).
I'm looking forward to reading your discussions!
