The common core standard for writing opinion pieces encompasses writing about, stating an opinion and supplying a reason for that opinions with a sense of closure. This is quite a large standard, and it also has areas for revision and editing. We will start small and carry this into our February Valentine writing and then continue with deeper writing (world views) into February. I am going to read some great books like Click, Clack, Moo, I Want a New Room, I Want an Iguana, Dear Mrs. LaRue and the lovely Pigeon books from Mo Willems. This will get our brains thinking about things we like and why. They will also have discussions about why they like certain things and how could they communicate that they like these things? To whom? (writing letters). During the early weeks, we will write about our feelings, thoughts and reasons supporting those, then start to edit our letters so that we can send them out! Asking why at home about statements they make will be a great way to support their thinking and opinions!
