Provocation | Should we keep or ban fireworks?

LI: To identify the 2 perspectives of provocation  

For writing, we have been learning about provocation. Provocation is giving opinions that will set off powerful feelings about the topic. 

Before starting our learning conversation, we had 10 minutes to smart search for evidence we can use to support our think of the use of fireworks.

While taking notes, we shared and borrowed information from other groups to help build up our knowledge that we could use when explaining our opinions.

Afterwards we had a learning conversation about the pros and cons about fireworks. During our learning conversation, we agreed and disagreed with each other by using evidence that we gathered to support our statements. 

In conclusion, we came up with two different opinions and gave reasons on why we thought that way.

We found this activity helpful because it gave us a good experience of provocation and a proper learning conversation.
