Description
Opinion writing unit for primary grades that focuses on writing reviews! This writing workshop unit is an extension of my Opinion Writing Unit where I previously taught them how to write opinions and provide reasons for them.
That being said, this unit could stand on its own without the previous opinion unit. Your students may require a few extra "what is an opinion?" lessons!
Students will brainstorm different things and give them a 1-5 star rating with reasons to support their opinion!
