Teachers, save “Opinion Writing: The Perfect Pet” to assign it to your class.

1. Decide which pet you would rather have. You can choose from a dog, a lizard, a cat, a fish, or a hamster. 2. Click on the pet you would like to have. 3. Fill in the boxes explaining why you want that pet. Note: First grade students must type and sound out words themselves. Kindergarten students should ask a grown up for help. They will tell the grown up what they want them to type.
