Battery Hens. Writing a persuasive (yet balanced) speech on animal welfare.

(1)
Lesson 1 in a series of lessons aimed to promote reading a writing skills (focusing on Non-Fiction and Media Texts). The presentation features a series of thought provoking images where pupils are guided to discuss their thoughts as a class (or in groups) to develop an understanding of the issues facing animal welfare. The final task is to create a speech to state whether the pupil is for or against battery hen farming to be banned in the U.K. This can then be peer assessed with the worksheet provided the material provided is not intended to influence pupils opinions rather develop confidence to voice their own.
