Well, well, well – some of you have provided a
convincing argument on homework (only those of you that have a copy of this message glued into your homework books). You
have convinced me to grant you a week off homework this week. You and your partner can be proud of your persuasive powers in your recent piece of persuasive writing.
Your argument was clearly set out. Your point of view was clear right from the
beginning. You had both thought of
reasons to support your point of view.
Facts and examples were provided to reinforce your main points.
Your argument finished strongly with a conclusion tying up
your main points.
So…
Enjoy your week off!!!
Get into all those activities you told me you had on this week. Check out the blog, spend quality family
time, train hard for the cross country (Anna and Logan, you were both especially convincing in this aspect...) and many more interesting activities you
mentioned.
Week 7’s homework will be the start of your Term 3 ASPIRE
inquiry, as well as spelling list 22 and two mathletic tasks.

I think that this was my most convincing reason: Homework is a lose-lose situation. Students have to work. Parents need to help. Teachers need to print, photocopy and mark. If there was no homework, this would be a win-win situation. STUDENTS have free time. PARENTS have free time. And most importantly, TEACHERS have free time.
ReplyDeleteNice use of repetition, as a persuasive technique Lucy. This was a successful aspect of one of your paragraphs.
ReplyDeleteAwesome reasons Lucy - I wouldn't want to argue with you about HOMEWORK. Well done to Room 24 - don't tell Room 26!!!!
