Opinion Writing (FREEBIE)

 

Spring is on the way! Yay! I love warmer weather. It already makes me think about all the insects we begin to see as the weather warms up. Why not connect this with an opinion writing and have students give their opinions about whether they like bees or ladybugs better and why they chose that insect. This provides a great opportunity to read some nonfiction texts to learn information about each insect before writing about which insect they like better and telling why they like it better. It's great to make a word web or chart giving information for each insect or even a Venn Diagram to compare the two insects.

 

Here is a FREEBIE to get your students motivated to write.

 

I hope your students enjoy writing their opinions about these two insects.

More Opinion Writing for Kindergarten (Writing Samples)

I am so proud of my students' writing again! They are doing a fantastic job with opinion writing. It is so fun to read their writings. Their writings make me smile and laugh.

My students wrote about pets again, but this time, they had to decide whether a rabbit or a fish is a better pet and tell why. There's probably not as many students who have rabbits or fish for a pet, so we read some informational books about these two pets to provide them with some background information.

 

After reading the nonfiction texts, we made a chart listing information the students learned about each pet. This is some of the information the students gave me. 

 

 

We used this information to decide which pet we thought was better and why. Then the students wrote to tell their opinion about which pet was better. I reminded them that when we write our opinion about something, we tell how we feel or what we think about something. I really stressed that opinions are not right or wrong, they are just your opinion telling how you feel about something. We all have our opinions about many things in life.

 

Then the students were given their writing template as shown below and they started writing away. They had so much fun with this opinion writing activity. I think they are hooked on writing their opinion about different topics.

 

I wrote in pencil under some of their words in case you have difficulty interpreting some of their invented spelling. I hope you have fun reading these. If you would like the template below, you can download it HERE.
