write a paragraph to support your first argument. Remember to look back at your
hamburger dot point planning from Monday.
2. Your paragraph must include:
- A supporting sentence (Example: Firstly, everyone knows that dogs are the most
loyal of pets).
- Examples as to why you think this (e.g. they will sit with you when you are sick, they
love to spend time with you, play with you and they will guard your house).

3. Continue with writing your second and third arguments to support your opinion.
Make sure you start your next argument with a new paragraph. All arguments
should include a supporting sentence and evidence to prove your opinion.
EXAMPLE:
Is It Safe to Ride a Bike to School? Riding your bike is a great way to stay fit and healthy. However, many people think it
is too dangerous to ride your bike to school unsupervised because of the traffic.
Many people believe if you ride to school, that it should be with an adult.
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree?
Perhaps you can think of ideas for both side of this argument.

Science Lesson
All living things need a variety of factors to stay alive and grow. All animals and plants have
SIMILAR basic needs, including the need for air and water. Some needs are different and depend
on the type of animal or plant and where it lives.
An environment is the living and
non-living surroundings of a living
thing, including the factors that
can influence its growth and
survival.
A habitat is a place in an
environment where an organism
usually lives.
There are many things that can
affect the life cycle of living
things:
Temperature
Plants in the environment
Animals in the environment
Change in the environment
Nutrient supply
Amount of light
Amount of water
Type of soil
Quality of soil
Some factors include: amount of
water, amount of sunlight,
temperature.
Environmental factors can affect
the life cycle of both plants and
animals.
Week 4 Activity Look at the pictures of different habitats. Identify some of the possible environmental
factors of each habitat and explain your thinking. Use the information provided to you in the
