Writers in Room 123 have begun learning about a new genre: opinion writing. The whole class worked together to write an opinion piece on a topic near and dear to their hearts–makerspaces.
They took the position that makerspaces are good for kids and then brainstormed facts to support this position.
Next, they considered their audience and which facts will be most convincing to them.
Finally, they added details and photos to each fact.
Students will continue their study of opinion writing over the next several weeks!
