Because it never seems like enough practice activities for this skill, we created this card sort.  These cards will print four on a page.

We have included heading labels.  You can then sort the cards. Each fact has a coordinating opinion.

After printing on card stock, we suggest laminating for durability.

Here are some ideas for using these cards:

• Place at a literacy center and have students sort into the correct category.  Laminate and attach magnets to make it a center for your board.
• You might even choose to use this as a game.  Hand out the cards and students must find their partner.  Have each class member share their statement and identify which category it goes in.
• Give students a fact.  Have them write their own coordinating opinion.
• Give students an opinion.  Have them write their own coordinating fact.
• As an extension, encourage students to write their own cards to add to your center!
