Treasoning!

Year 8 have been experimenting with giving 'BETTER REASONS' for opinions. Giving reasons for opinions is really important, and as your reasons get better - so do your levels! Look:
 


Level 5 Speaking: “give reasons to explain your ideas”

Level 6 Speaking: “providing reasons to support your views”

Level 7 Speaking: "express opinions using evidence at times"



In this particular task, Year 8 had to give reasons to support (roots) or oppose (wind)  the statement: "Mae'r Bontfaen yn anhygoel". The better their positive reason - the longer the root and the better the negative reason - the stronger the wind. Decide for yourself - will these trees stay standing because of their strong positive roots or fall down due to the strong negative winds?
