Opinion writing can be extremely engaging for young writers who typically enjoy sharing their thoughts on topics. The goal of this unit is to help students begin to share support for their opinions.

Backing their ideas with evidence and support is what will ultimately lead others to take those opinions more seriously.

Teaching effective opinion writing in elementary school can lay the foundation for more thoughtful and powerful writers in the future.
