Literacy

This week you will start your own writing based on zoos and whether they should keep animals or not. You will be aiming towards writing a balanced argument for and against the use of zoos, only writing your opinion in the conclusions. You will have to do a little bit of research online or watching some videos on YouTube. Please ask parents to check any videos/websites you are using for research before using them.
