This week we have been writing letters for and against the building of Euro Disney in Paris. Our SUCCESS CRITERIA was:


  • To write a balanced argument supporting our views.
  • To write in paragraphs.
  • To use connectives in our sentences.
  • To include a rhetorical question.

    Here is Andrew's letter. Do you agree with his point of view? Did he meet his SUCCESS CRITERIA?

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I am a French worker in a small shop and I would like to tell you my views on having a Disneyland Resort in Paris.
    Firstly, lots of people will lose their jobs because other people want to visit there or even work there! I'm running short on customers, meanwhile, the resort is packed with people and the workers there are earning lots of money.
    Secondly, it's causing a great deal of uproar for French citizens because Disneyland Paris is an American resort and not French so consequently people such as the Parisians are angry. Who would want an American resort slap bang in the middle of Paris? Paris has lots of real French culture like the Eiffel Tower, Musee De Lourve and Notre Dame.
    Thirdly, all the fumes caused by the workers and visitors going to and from the resort in their cars will cause pollution in the area and make Paris more filthy. It will destroy Paris' hygiene.
    Finally, all the sweets and packets of food visitors buy from the resort will probably be dropped on the floor as litter. Cans and plastic bags are dangerous, as animals such as ducks and squirrels might choke on them!
    Thank you for taking the time to read my letter, I will be awaiting your response.
    With Best Wishes,
    Andrew Karamura.
