Description
This 4 week opinion writing unit will help you teach your second grade students to write opinion pieces, engage in mini-debates, and create book reviews! This pack has everything you need, from complete opinion writing lesson plans to writing paper to posters to writing rubrics and more.
The lessons begin by having students write opinion pieces about hot topics such as, “Should schools require uniforms?” They will engage in a simple “debate” to wrap up this part of the unit. Then, students will write book reviews and give awards for categories such as “Wonderful Word Choice.”
This unit is designed to be taught toward the end of the year.
