The OREO Reminder
The OREO Reminder
Before you start, don't forget to pack your OREO! It’s the best way to build a strong argument:
O - Opinion: Tell us what you think!
R - Reasons: Why do you think that?
E - Examples: Give us some proof or a cool story.
O - Opinion: Tell us one more time so we don't forget!

OPINION WRITING (7).pdfMy Learning Goal
My Learning Goal
Goal: I can look at both sides of a big argument and write strong reasons FOR (why it's a good idea) and AGAINST (why it's a bad idea) a city hosting the Commonwealth Games.
What’s the Big Deal? (The Blurb)
What’s the Big Deal? (The Blurb)
Imagine if your hometown suddenly became the center of the universe! Thousands of super-fast, super-strong athletes from 74 countries show up, giant crowds fill the stadiums, and the whole world is watching on TV.
Hosting the Commonwealth Games sounds like the ultimate party, right? You get new parks, cool sports fields, and a ton of excitement.
But wait a minute! Putting on a massive sports show is incredibly expensive. It costs millions of dollars, takes years to plan, and causes giant traffic jams for the people who actually live there. In fact, for the Glasgow 2026 Games happening right now, the city had to promise not to spend any taxpayer money and only use stadiums that were already built!
Because there are two sides to this story, it is the perfect topic for persuasive writing (which is just a fancy way of saying "writing that convinces someone to agree with you"). To be a master persuader, you have to understand both the good side and the bad side!
Your Writing Mission: The Great City Debate
