The Bigfoot Mountain Debate in Year 6

Today, Year 6 hosted a debate about whether Bigfoot Mountain should be developed for tourism.



Children were put into groups such as environmentalist, skier, developer, farmers, Indians and local people and they had to argue whether they were for or against the proposed development.

Here is the agenda...


The discussion was heated with strong debate, but when it came to vote for "Should Bigfoot Mountain Ski Resort be granted planning permission?" "yes" gained 10 votes but "no" gained 18 votes, so the motion failed.  

However, Mrs Carrington said that the best debaters were really those for the Ski resorts.

How do you think you would vote?
