Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to explain how to format and structure discursive writing to present viewpoints about pupils riding scooters to school and sets of cards to sort and write sentences with facts and opinion for use in a discussion text about an issue related to school rules.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose sentences for a discussion text using fact and opinion to describe different school issues and rules.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to compose a range of discussion texts to debate and present arguments about issues that are important to life in a school. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
