Kids have opinions, and they're actually pretty good at sharing these opinions, giving reasons for their opinions, and sometimes even getting their way!
They need help getting these opinions written down in an organized manner. I have this resource to help them out with this!
I made up this graphic organizer, along with a couple of samples. There are a million topics they can use to share their opinions, such as "favorite color, brothers: good or bad, favorite after-school activity, to name a few. See this resource here: Opinion Writing Organization
I always believe that children need to talk before they write, so I'd share my samples, and enhance each time to make the story more interesting.
Quite often, before they even start to organize their story, I have them practice orally with each other what they'll be writing. It truly does help the writing flow more smoothly!
