Before we replace it
“Schools should help pupils learn when and how everyday items can be repaired.”
Write the text of a speech for an assembly attended by pupils and staff giving your views on this statement.
In your speech, examine the choices involved: which objects are suitable, who should decide what happens to them, and whether repair skills deserve time in school.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
