G5 debate 'Should wild animals be held in captivity?'

Today, after preparing their arguments earlier this week, Grade 5's set out to persuade each other that they were right! They listened extremely well to each other's arguments and responded with very thoughtful counter-arguments. Aex and Jun argued strongly that wild animals should not be held in captivity, while Kevin and Hyewon argued that, under certain circumstances, it may be necessary and indeed helpful to keep wild animals in captivity.

As debate chair, I was impressed with the arguments on both sides. Team members used persuasive arguments, including facts and information researched from the internet, and expressed themselves using excellent speaking and listening skills. Well done Grade 5's!
