1. Please start the video link below to hear Miss Mikle review the Opinion Writing format and learn what you will focus on in writing today. She will tell you to pause the video so that you can do the “Opinion Writing Matching Format” activity. Continue to play the video to check your answers.

A. Make sure your beginning includes a hook (see Review Hook/Lead Examples: Hook & Lead Examples ) to lead your readers into your topic.
B. Next, write your opinion statement following your hook/lead.
