When writing it – think about reasons why – each reason should have one reason why and then expand on it. The paragraphs could be something like:

Improves sense of belonging, spirit, to school – everyone is the same, at school carnivals, matches everyone wears school colours, on excursions everyone is easily identifiable

Improves school learning – no-one is wasting time on what they are wearing, not wearing

stops school bullying – everyone is wearing the same thing, there isn’t a group of people who wear the labels, no-one is wearing inferior clothes

Make sure that you put a conclusion that wraps it all up.

Whichever side you chose, make a list of reasons for your opinion. Map them, then add a list of facts or examples that support your reasons. Both your paper and your speech can come from this map.

Don’t forget to throw in a quote or 2 from respected community members who hold the same view as you do.

Good luck!
