Writing: Opinion Pieces

Students have been working hard this 3rd quarter on writing great opinion pieces. The standards include students writing opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and information.

1. Introduce a topic or text clearly, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure in which ideas are logically grouped to support the writer's purpose.
2. Provide logically ordered reasons that are supported by facts and details.
3. Link opinion and reasons using words, phrases, and clauses (e.g., consequently, specifically).
4. Provide a concluding statement or section related to the opinion presented.

Here are some examples of what our students have been working hard on.
