Today we learnt about writing persuasive essays. Every persuasive essay must explain TWO sides of an argument. Here is one example from class today:
School Uniforms:
School uniforms are good because wearing a uniform means we are representing our school, when people on the street see us they will know we are from Enka. They are also a way to stop poor students from feeling embarrassed. If there were no uniforms at a school some students might laugh at other students because they don't have new clothes because they are poor. Having a uniform means these students won't get laughed at for being poor.
But school uniforms can be bad. It is often difficult to do some things in uniforms, they can be uncomfortable and they can stop us from expressing ourselves. If we can feel more comfortable in what we are wearing then we can focus on studying at school.
Our group's opinion is that we should be able to wear what we like, that way we can wear colorful clothes and school can be a happy place where we can express who we are by what we wear.
