School Uniform

Shoes are not too big. Perhaps
parents buy too big. Wear shoes
with pride.
Uniform shoes are too big and
clunky .
Support our school for interschools. So other schools know
where we come from. Like
interschool soccer.
Buy second hand uniform, or
borrow off friends/family. Much
cheaper second hand.
Everyday you know what you are
going to wear. Takes less time.
School rule is if playing contact
sports you wear mufti. And you get
taught at production to sew.
Wear school uniform down street
and school gets noticed for good
things.
Could user a washing machine,
dryer or deodorant to cover the
smell.
Makes you look neat and tidy easy
to recognise. Everyone wearing the
same clothing not missed-matched.
They are too expensive. Some
people can’t afford the cost of
uniforms.
Can choose what you are going to
wear the night before.
When playing sports they rip and
get damaged.
Walking down the streets if you do
something wrong you will be
reported on if you are wearing
uniform.
If you don’t have two pairs of
uniform then your uniform gets
smelly/stinky, and too expensive to
buy 2 pairs.
If all wearing the same things you
don’t show individuality and could
get teased if wearing uniform
differently. And could get teased.
Students explore the issue of school uniforms,
developing arguments around it from different points
of view.
Discussion: School Uniforms
People have different opinions about
whether or not school uniforms are a good
idea. You need to decide whether you agree
or disagree with wearing a school uniform.
You must not ‘sit on the fence’.
List all your ideas and/or reasons why you
have decided for or against school uniform.
Lets share our ideas…. A debate!

COME ON OVER
Sometimes we want to talk someone into thinking about things the same way we
think about them. For example, you might try to persuade your parents to let you stay
up late to watch a movie on TV. When we are trying to persuade someone we have to
think of some good reasons for them to agree.
You are going to pretend that you want to have a friend come over to your place after
school. You have to try and convince your parents that it would be a good idea.
You will need to try to think of some really good reasons for having your friend come
to your house. Try to think of things your parents might not like about having your
friend over and what you could say to them about those things.
You can have a few moments to think about what you might say to your parents and
how you might say it. Then you can imagine that I am your parent and tell me what
you would say.
Allow time.
Now imagine that I am your parent. Try to persuade me with your good reasons, and
remember that I might not want to have your friend come over after school.
Room 8 Students – Roll played this scene in pairs.
One was the child (the persuader). The other took the roll of the parent (to be
convinced).
Introduction
Middle/paragraphs
Conclusion
GENERAL FEEDBACK: Was that only 4-5 children could convince their parent
to have a friend over.
Overall, the children from Room 8 enjoyed the activity because it gave them
an opportunity to ‘think’ before going to ask parents for something.
