Opinion Writing 2nd Grade 3rd Graphic Organizer Minilessons Prompts PowerPoint

$12.60

A comprehensive opinion writing unit that will take you and your students through the writing process step by step while teaching the essential components of opinion writing.  The unit will start with an introduction or review of opinion writing and move onto more complex elements, concluding with book reviews.

This resource for opinion writing is INCREDIBLE! The fact that each writing activity/sample follows the same routine was so great for my class of struggling writers. The lessons and resources from this packet were so helpful to me as the teacher but were also engaging to my 2nd graders. I’m so glad I purchased this resource and really could see a difference in my opinion writing from last year, when I didn’t use this resource, to this past year, where I did. Great improvement!
