Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Things you believe are called your opinions.
- People can agree or disagree with an opinion.
- Using the word 'because' will allow you to explain why you agree or disagree with an opinion.
- Speaking in full sentences helps the listener understand what is being said.
- Successful listening includes looking at the person speaking and paying close attention.
Common misconception
In Learning Cycle 2, pupils might think you are asking them if they agree, rather than asking them to identify who agrees out of the 3 characters - Aisha, Sofia and Alex.
Read each of the opinions in the speech bubbles out and ask the pupils who agrees that the class should get a pet.
