Here is the next part of the text. I hope you are enjoying the story so far!

Today's English Task: 

I would like you to write a balanced argument about whether the children should stay in the den. Use evidence from the chapter to help you with your pros and cons. 

Structure to follow: 

First Paragraph- Introduce what the argument is going to be about, explain what has happened to the children and the situation they are in. Let the reader know they are about to hear arguments for and against the children staying in the jungle den. 

Second Paragraph- Arguments for the children staying in the jungle den. Remember not to say 'I think' and write in the third person, 'Some people think' or 'Some people believe that'. There are lots of handy phrases like this to use in the document below. 

Third Paragraph- Arguments against the children staying in the jungle den. 

Fourth Paragraph- Conclusion. You could even start this paragraph by writing, 'In conclusion,' This is where you state your opinion and what you believe. You can revisit some of the arguments you have made to help you express your view. 

Good Luck!
