Why this why now
This unit builds on pupils' ability to share and explain their opinions, which were explored in the previous Year 2 unit 'Spoken language: sharing your opinion'. Here, pupils will learn how to politely and respectfully agree and disagree with one another, always giving reasons why. Pupils will further develop their conversational skills; taking turns to speak, listening carefully, asking questions and responding to others. Pupils will practise their speaking skills, making sure they are heard and understood and preparing them for the future unit, 'Oral Storytelling'.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Opinions are views that a person has about something and can be known as a 'point of view'.
- An audience is a group of people listening to or watching a performance or speaker.
- Speaking loudly and clearly is important when talking in front of an audience.
- Reasons should be used to explain why we have a particular opinion.
- 'Because' is the joining word that allows you to explain why you have an opinion.
- Convincing an audience requires strong reasons.
