Opinion Pieces
Learning Targets:
- I can state a claim and give evidence to support that claim.
- I can find this evidence by researching my own opinion topic.
- I can put this evidence into my own words by paraphrasing what I have researched.
- I can organize my thoughts and evidence into a writing piece using a graphic organizer (a Flee Map), as my prewriting plan.
- I can then draft my writing piece using my own prewriting plan.
