Should We Change The New Zealand Flag?

LI:To make an informed choice

Today LS2 made an informed choice to decide on if we should change the New Zealand flag or we don't. We went in our thinking groups and made a chart on yes to change the flag and no don't change the flag. In my group we came up with ideas like change the flag because it looks similar to the Australian flag and it is a waste on money if we don't change the flag because we already paid 27 million dollars. For no don't change the flag we came up with it disrespects the soldiers who fought for New Zealand because they fought under the current flag.

It felt really hard  like a solid but when we picked it up it fell out of our fingers like a liquid. At the end the answer was non newtonian liquid.

This is my stretched sentence and my DRAFT sentence that I made with my buddy Thomas. For our stretched sentence we used the 5 W's. After that we use DRAFT to make our sentence better. We also use simple sentences, compound sentences and complex sentences. To do compound and complex sentence we used FANBOYS and AAWWUBBIS.
