In this packet you will find graphic organizers and stationery for an opinion writing activity that addresses the ELA Common Core Standards for writing. There are a variety of graphic organizers for you to use to help differentiate instruction for the various levels of writers in your classroom. The planners provided offer a scaffolded approach to the writing assignment. The graphic organizers start out simple and become more complex.
With this activity, the students will write an opinion piece about their favorite book and why it’s their favorite. Although this activity could be used at any point in the school year, it would be perfect to use during the month on February. The writing pieces would make a cute bulletin board featuring “The Books We Love.” You could even take pictures of your students with their favorite books to post with their finished products.
Thanks for checking out my products!
The Common Core Standards were developed and written by the NGA.
