Teachers, save “Opinion Writing” to assign it to your class.

Write 1-3 paragraphs stating your opinion on ONE of the following topics: Which pet is the best pet?; Should students wear uniforms at school?; Should schools be required to offer music and art classes to students? A good OPINION paragraph will have these things: 1. An introduction that gets your reader's attention (start with a question or interesting fact about your topic). 2. Three to five sentences that include specific facts and details to support your opinions (use facts from articles you have read or information you have gathered). 3. A conclusion that summarizes your opinion. Don't forget to use capitals and punctuation! 1 Paragraph: 3rd Graders 2 Paragraphs: 4th Graders 3 Paragraphs: 5th Graders
