 For more specific genre information, please refer to Genre Guidance (page 4 of the Support Documents.).

 

WRITING: Students will write for varied purposes and audiences in all modes, using fully developed ideas, strong organization, well-chosen words, fluent sentences, and appropriate voice.                                                        
1.3.W.3 OPINION Students will express an opinion in writing about a topic and provide a reason to support the opinion with guidance and support.

Student Actions 

Teacher Actions 

With guidance and support students will begin to:
  • Establish an opinion on a topic.
  • Support the opinion with a reason.

 

  •  

Students at this level require guidance and support during instructional opportunities for this objective.

  • Teachers provide examples of opinion writing, pointing out and discussing the key details that make the writing an opinion piece.
  • Teachers point out and discuss the reasons given in an opinion piece.
  • Teachers model how to establish an opinion on a topic and follow it up with reasons when writing.
  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to begin writing their opinions and supporting them with reasons.
  • Teachers monitor and provide opportunities for students to receive feedback as students are writing their opinion pieces.

Teacher Insights

OKELA Frameworks: Argumentative Writing Literacy Progression (webpage)

 

  • Opinion writing is writing where students state their opinion about a topic.

  • Opinion writing is new to first grade.  

  • Teacher guidance and support is expected throughout first grade.

  • Topics can be simple. At minimum, students need to provide one reason to support their opinion. For example, a topic could be superheroes. A student could write, “I think Superman is the best superhero because he can fly.”

  • Shared writing provides medium to heavy teacher support which would be beneficial for students to see how to organize and write opinion writing.  

  • To be successful with this standard, students must understand the difference between fact and opinion.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
