They are already arguing over the best football team. I am excited to be able to show them how to support and give reasons...it's just nice to see that others have the same expectations and high standards for student writing...looking forward to seeing how my thinking grows in this genre...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973476422033091912.post-3950782348755305872013-01-06T18:56:57.231-08:002013-01-06T18:56:57.231-08:00Katie~

Your post(s) are VERY helpful! I was inspired to create an Opinion Writing list on Listmanina http://amzn.to/XB9GSJ. <br /><br />Your point in the importance of conversation is well taken! Just Friday my kids were in a great conversation as to who is telling the story in Snow Day by Lester Laminick. This may be just the kick off we need! <br /><br />Deb Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357198767241625023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973476422033091912.post-14546843075719084932013-01-04T15:32:24.783-08:002013-01-04T15:32:24.783-08:00Sure Cathy-

We talk about how sometimes you might have something you feel strongly about and share your opinion about it.<br />Mercy Watson is in this basket because Eugenia, the next door neighbor to Mercy has strong opinions about people owning pigs as pets.<br />I would be glad to share our ideas chart as soon as school begins next week!<br />Katie Dicesarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267193046510544304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973476422033091912.post-17528879408345356312013-01-04T09:23:04.120-08:002013-01-04T09:23:04.120-08:00I will be attempting review/opinion writing with s...I will be attempting review/opinion writing with second grade. First time ever! Could you share what books are in the basket? I would also love to see an updated version of your chart so I can see what it might look like in a classroom (if you're willing to share).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973476422033091912.post-44661993347127524752013-01-03T05:13:51.893-08:002013-01-03T05:13:51.893-08:00Our 5th grade writers are going to be tackling an ...Our 5th grade writers are going to be tackling an oral presentation (persuasive or informational) and both TIME and CHOICE were part of the discussion as my Language Arts partner and I planned yesterday!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.com
