Persuasive Writing: Should We Eat Insects?

Would you ever consider snacking on a beetle larvae? Would you ever order a cricket taco for dinner? Our class began exploring the pros and cons of entomophagy (the practice of eating insects). We learned there are many people who already consume insects (over 2 billion people around the world).

But should Canadians be more open to eating insects? We all have our own unique opinions on the subject. Students are continuing to create a persuasive paragraph either encouraging or discouraging entomophagy. We will begin editing our drafts this upcoming week, so please remember to bring your rough copy with you to school!
