Six pages for one opinion piece. Page 1 is the plan: topic, audience, purpose, opinion and the facts to look up. Page 2 is the organizer, three reasons each beside its facts and details. Page 3 is the same plan on lines, with a line for linking words and one for why someone might not agree. Page 4 tries three openings and two endings. Page 5 is a paragraph frame, and page 6 a page of linking words.
The prompt, safe road crossings for animals, works well with a short article or video first: let students gather facts for page 1. Model a weak and a strong reason, then show how a fact makes a reason stronger. Share openings aloud and let the class pick favorites.
Ask your child to persuade you of something, then ask: what is a fact that proves it? Help them find one fact for each reason.
Opinion writing about animals with reasons backed by facts and details. Students plan for an audience and purpose, introduce the opinion clearly, support each reason, link ideas with for instance and in addition, and write a strong opening and conclusion.
