PRO

CON

Prons

• Less time needed to get ready in     the morning
• Less expensive
• Personality becomes more     important than looks
• Makes everyone look equal (no   bullying because of looks)
• Makes sure there are no   inappropriate clothes

Cons

• Stops students from expressing   themselves (no right to freedom   of expression)
• Uniforms are often   uncomfortable and have an old-   fashioned design
• Forcing students to wear a school   uniform can ignore their religious   and cultural needs

School Uniforms

You are going to discuss the following topic in 80-100 words and hand in your writing to earn extra points (0.5)

Our school should make its students wear school uniforms

Include the following items:

- How you would feel if you had to wear a uniform to school

- The pros and cons of school uniforms

- If you agree or not - and why

School Uniforms - steps

Step 1: How would you feel if you had to wear a uniform to school? Answer this question for yourself in keywords.

Step 2: Make a (short) list with the pros and cons of school uniforms (you can look at the pros and cons we discussed and to the three emails)

Step 3: Decide whether you agree that school uniforms should be introduced or if you don't agree. Write down the reason for your opinion in keywords.

Step 4: If you have a good idea of what you want to write, start writing a draft. 

Step 5: If you have finished your draft, read it again for yourself (and count the words). 

Next lesson:

Step 6: We will have a feedback session, after which you can edit your email (step 7) and write the final version (step 8) to hand in.
