English Debate
This week we have been discussing whether deforestation should take place in the Amazon. At the start of the week, we conducted research to find out the reasons for deforestation and its impact. Then we wrote a balanced argument with clear points for and against with supporting evidence. Finally, we held a debate where we all spoke in character: roles included the Brazilian government, environmentalists, cattle ranch owners and loggers. After hearing all the arguments, we had a vote and decided that deforestation should not take place as the damage on our planet is too much.
