  • Picture of Mrs Street Mrs Street
  • February 14, 2022

Hi Year 5,

Your challenge is to read through this article (click on the link): http://www.theguardian.com/environment/live/2014/aug/27/do-dams-destroy-rivers

The article is on whether dams destroy rivers – you need to read it through all the way to the end (you may need to look up any words you are unfamiliar with). This is a challenging piece, but it is an opportunity to push yourself.

BRONZE CHALLENGE:

Identify the facts and opinions in the article.

SILVER CHALLENGE:

Identify the opinions and write the alternative viewpoints for each opinion.

GOLD CHALLENGE:

List the facts present and then use these to write a balanced argument about whether dams are good thing or not. You need to explain your answer, using the facts you have listed.

Give this a really good go Year 5 – you have all made some brilliant progress this year, this is an opportunity to show it off!

    Bronze:
    Opinions:
    “ dams do change the world and its natural environment”
    “ Many of the dams built during the 20th century have proven to be river killers”
    “ dams produce significant amounts of carbon dioxide”
    Facts:
    The dams built in the last century and very poorly designed therefore and in the process of getting destroyed.
    A dam is a barrier that restricts the surface
    Water or underground streams.
