Writing: 

Opinion Writing:

Today I want to teach you that when writers recommend a book to friends, they ask themselves, “What do my friends need to know about the book to understand why they should read it?”  

*Today you will  focus on writing the middle of your opinion piece of writing! (**Please do not go ahead.**) 

1.Watch the video of Miss Mikle showing you the difference between “Weak and Awesome Middles” of opinion writing.  

2.Reread the Hook/Lead and opinion statement that you wrote yesterday to this question: What book or series do you think other 2nd Graders “Must Read”?

  

3. Now you need to support your opinion with reasons and details/evidence from the book. 

(Hint:  Why do you think second graders must read this book?) 

*Use the chart below to help you reflect on your book or book series.

*Remember, your middle needs at least two paragraphs.  

Paragraph 1:  *Write a sentence that tells one reason why your friends must read your book. Then explain that reason!

Paragraph 2: State another reason why you think others should read your book. Then explain that reason. 

4.Read over your work when you’re done.  You do NOT need to submit it to SeeSaw until the final day / part of writing.
