This workshop on opinion writing is for students in grades 3rd through 6th. It may also be appropriate for 7th graders with approval from a mentor teacher. This workshop will be held virtually from 12:30-1:30 on Thursdays beginning 1/12/23. In this workshop we will be learning about paragraph and essay structure. Students will learn how to state a strong opinion and then use specific reasons to support their opinion. We will practice writing paragraphs, introductions, conclusions and then we will write an essay from start to finish. This class will be geared towards developing the skills necessary to write a five paragraph essay and will be best for students who can write sentences but are not strong paragraph writers yet.
