Lesson 3 - The Advantages and Disadvantages of Eating Out

Today we were thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of eating out.

First we split up into groups and talked about the advantages of eating out.

Then we recorded them on a big post it.

Next we split up in to different groups and we talked about the disadvantages of eating out.

After that we recorded them on another big post it.

We found out there are more advantages than disadvantages of eating out. This means that people like going out more than staying at their house and eating.

I found out:

• more people like eating out
• there are lots of different opinions about eating out
• people in our classes have different reasons for advantages and disadvantages
• we have lots of smart people in our classes
• some good reasons and advantages

I can't wait for:

• McDonald's excursion
• Hands on
• Open our own restaurant
• future lessons

Then we looked at information on http://www.skwirk.com/ so we could make sure we had everything recorded.

Next we thought about the places that we like to eat. We had to decide on our favourite place and we shared them with the class.

After that we discussed ideas for a title page in our Science books.
