Year 4 - Discussion Texts

In Year 4 the students are learning how to write Discussion Texts.  Click here to see what a Discussion Text is.

One of the main features of a Discussion Text is that you share different perspectives (or opinions) about a topic.  We decided to explore this.  We asked:

  • What is an opinion?
  • What are some topics you can/can not have an opinion about? (Opinion vs Fact)


A Discussion Text shows BOTH sides of the opinion so we had some practice at doing this with some very funny topics.

There should be no homework!

Children should be able to choose the days
they come to school.

Children should be allowed to be the teacher
for a day.
Here are all of our 'agrees' and disagrees'

One was definitely better than the other!!
Look at all of our notes.
