Opinion Writing Unit
Opinion Writing Unit
As the school year continues, we will transition to an opinion writing unit. This is the second unit of study we will use from the Lucy Calkins Writer's Workshop program that students will participate in during their fourth grade year.
What is Opinion Writing?
Opinion writing is a form, or structure, of writing that allows the writer to express their own personal opinions on a topic or subject.
Whether or not school uniforms should be used is a great topic for an opinion piece.
We see people posting their opinions all the time on social media, and hear people's opinions on the news. People share their opinions everyday. Opinion writing takes the ideas and opinions that we have, and lets students plan and organize their thoughts so they may be written in paragraph form.
