OKELA Frameworks: Argumentative Writing Literacy Progression (webpage)
|
-
Opinion writing clearly states a view or judgment about a topic, supported by examples, and offering reasons for assertions and/or explaining cause and effect.
-
Students need to provide more than one reason to support their opinion about the topic.
-
To be successful with this standard, students must understand the difference between fact and opinion.
-
In the early stages of opinion writing, it is important to select topics and questions that suit your students’ interests to ensure writer buy-in.
|
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.
