Balanced Arguments

Balanced Arguments
Year 6 are looking at and thinking about balanced arguments.
To do this they have thought about different topics for which they could provide a balanced argument for.
We started by thinking about controversial issues. Firstly, we looked at the definition of controversial issues and then we thought about what we would consider to be controversial.
Below are some of the things that the
children came up with:
Should school exist?
Should men and women be paid the same?
Should women be allowed to breastfeed in public?
Should sports people get paid so much?
Should there be expiry dates on food?
Should there be a limit to how much fast food you can consume?
Should films/ games have age certificate?
Should you be made to feel guilty if you do not give to charity?
Can you think of any other controversial issues? Would you be able to produce a balanced argument for any of these given topics?
