Good morning Oak Class!

It’s Friday, which means that we are approaching the start of the weekend. Woohoo!

Today’s writing task is also the last post that I will dedicate to a ‘rainforest’ theme. Thank you for all of your continued hard work over the last two weeks – I really have admired and appreciated your efforts. You all make me so proud!

Writing - I can write a balanced argument

Many people in the world eat insects for meals. Some say insects are the sustainable protein of the future for the other cultures. Consider the following thinking points:

Would you eat insects for a meal? 

What kind of recipes would you put them in? 

How are they used as a food source in some cultures?

Is there ever a circumstance where eating an insect would be considered cruel or unnecessary?

Write a balanced argument. Use the PEE model. Make your point, explain your point and support your point with evidence. 

Here is a suggested structure for your writing:

After you have written the 'I can' statement, title your piece with the question – Should we eat insects?

1^st paragraph – opening statement introducing the issue.

2^nd paragraph – argument ‘for’ eating insects.

3^rd paragraph – argument ‘against’ eating insects.

3^rd paragraph – conclusion.
