writing to argue

Lovely Year 8's

You need to continue to work on your written piece. It is very important that you use A F O R E S T techniques to improve the quality of your argument. I have given you all a writing frame to use and this is for guidelines - you can alter this if you wish. Most importantly, use the research you have done for your presentations on certification and censorship. There are 2 very strong arguments for / against 16 year olds and censorship - use facts / opinions to balance the argument and come to a clear conclusion.

REMEMBER - you will be assessed on the DETAIL of your work and the ACCURACY - spelling, punctuation, paragraphs ARE IMPORTANT - you have to DRAFT your work for both detail and accuracy. Make it count - use your time wisely and do your best. The written work will be kept on your file and you have all worked hard with research and I want your written work to reflect the FANTASTIC presentations that you did - considered, mature and persuasive.

  1. I watched "take me out" and it didnt have a rating for it , but there was no swearing involed, no rude scence , so i think i would give "take me out" a PG.
