Opinion-Persuasive

Our overarching INSPIRED goal for OPINION/PERSUASIVE writing: Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. To ACHIEVE this we will:


 * Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons and information.
 * Introduce a topic or text clearly, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure in which ideas are logically grouped to support the writer's purpose.
 * Provide logically ordered reasons that are supported by facts and details. Link opinion and reasons using words, phrases, and clauses(e.g., consequently, specifically).
 * Provide a concluding statement or section related to the opinion presented.
