Hook for a book. Job offer - discussing the pros and cons

Giraffes were surprised  to be offered a job today; they didn’t even know they had applied!

Job: monitor the weather

Location: Bear Island

Length of contract: 6 months

Other information: You can take 1 person with you, but there won’t be anyone else on the island.

After finding out a bit more about Bear Island, we tried to weigh up the pros and cons.



Would you accept the job?

We wrote our responses using conjunctions.

The positives outweigh the negatives; therefore, I will accept the job.
