What Is Your Opinion?
Posted by Maureen Diallo
Our first-grade writers are wrapping up their Opinion and Persuasive Writing unit! Throughout the month the first graders have learned how to write their opinion on various topics, their reasons for their opinion, and how to organize their reasons into a detailed writing piece using a graphic organizer. This unit encouraged writers to develop opinions with multiple reasons for support, as well as strong openings and closings. Writers were also encouraged to revise their writing and create more complex sentences by using linking words.
