Dynamic Dairy Debaters!
Posted by Ariel WarshawThe fifth graders have been learning about effective persuasive writing techniques and conducting research on whether schools should serve chocolate milk. After viewing and analyzing newsclips, advertisements, and articles on the topic, we engaged in a lively debate on the subject. Through this exercise, students were able to add additional details to their notes, strategize with their team to craft well-reasoned arguments, and glean insight from the counterarguments that they encountered. The debaters did a fantastic job conveying their perspectives by using effective tone of voice, compelling body language, and concrete evidence. We’ll use this experience to help shape a thoughtful and multifaceted essay on chocolate milk consumption in school, and already the students are eager to partake in our next debate!
