Objectives
Students will learn how to write an opinion story using Step Up to Writing techniques. The book, What if You Had Animal Hair?, describes different types of animal hair as well as the pros and cons of having that type of hair. Using a text to introduce opinion writing will give students a framework in which to form and support opinions that they will be making.
Assessment/CFU
Students will write a paragraph with a topic sentence, four facts sentences, and a closing sentence. Have students check their sentences to make sure that they started each sentence with a capital, put a finger space between each word, and ended with a period. Students should state their opinion, give four facts supporting their opinion, and end with a closing sentence.
