How to write a discussion text
Leah Boleto outlines how a discussion or discursive text should include a balanced view and explains how both sides of the argument should be addressed in order to remain objective and not biased. This resource includes a very clear explanation of what writing in the 1st person, 2nd person and 3rd person means. The presenter models how to research in different ways to find supporting evidence such as statistics which will justify your arguments. Summarising information and writing a closing statement is also demonstrated in this resource. Keywords and examples are presented on the screen to support pupils writing this genre.
