NZ Flag Referendum

WALT: use our plan to write a discussion text, which tells the history of the flag, and both points of view.

Success Criteria:

• Has an introduction which tells us what the text is going to be about.
• Has one paragraph explaining the history of the flag
• Has one paragraph explaining why we should keep the flag
• Has one paragraph explaining why we should change the flag.
• Has a conclusion saying what your opinion is on the flag debate.

Model introduction:

Between the 3rd-24th March 2016 there will be a referendum held in New Zealand as to whether we should officially change the flag.  A referendum is when the public (over 18) are asked to vote on a question from the government about our nation.  The public will be deciding between the current NZ flag and the Silver Fern Flag.  

The NZ flag hasn’t always been the official New Zealand flag… We have had the current new zealand flag since 1902 and in 1898 we had to carry the union jack with a white disc around the stars. the new zealand flag has went through war and history, people love the nz flag.

keeping the nz flag is the people of our nation's decision the money that has been spent on the new flag could go to hungry children or the SPCA to help rescue more animals or save the lives of people

($26 million).
