In Room 9 we have been working on asking questions. This week's mini literacy inquiry is on oceans and we watched a video about plastic pollution and created questions to research or find answers to. Please visit our individual blogs if you would like to read some more questions. In Writing we are using persuasive language to express our ideas and convey our opinion and ideas. Here is Neha and Viena's writing. Please check out more examples of persuasive writing on our individual blogs.

In writing we are asking questions and using persuasive language to express our ideas. Please check out our individual blogs to check out our very interesting writing.

Here are a few examples-

Why should we protect the oceans?

Why do you think our oceans should be protected?

Is it because they have dirty water or do you think

that sea animals are dying?

Our ocean needs to be protected because plastic

is going into our ocean and killing sea animals and

our way to stop that is to not throw plastic into the

ocean and not bring plastic to the beach. 

Oceans provide at least a sixth of the animal protein

people eat. Living oceans absorb carbon dioxide from

the atmosphere and reduce climate change impacts.

The diversity and productivity of the world's oceans is

a vital interest for humankind. Our security, our economy,

our very survival all require healthy oceans.
