Moon Landing Hoax ‘Talk for Writing’ Session

This week in Year 5 we have been studying another famous conspiracy theory- the moon landing ‘hoax’. During today’s lesson we acted out the entire debate while practising our ‘Learning@Woodbridge’ skill of thinking in a collaborative way. We used high level vocabulary, connectives, quotes and evidence (including statistics) to talk through the debate in precisely the manner that it was going to be written in our books. Later in the day the children produced some very convincing written debates that both supported and refuted the conspiracy theory.
