English – Debate

In Year 6 this term, we have been learning all about the Titanic. Recently, we have been writing a balanced argument about who was potentially to blame for the tragedy. Beforehand, we worked in groups to list reasons why/why not a key figure was to blame. We held a courtroom-style debate, with a judge, defence and prosecution to discuss whether or not someone was responsible.
