Fact and Opinion Writing DRAFT Essays

The students have been working really hard using their graphic organizers, transition words, and fact and opinion definitions to write their DRAFT opinion essays. They started with their opening paragraphs, including their hooks (topic sentence to draw readers in), stated their opinions, and listed three reasons for these beliefs.

They also began typing the body of their essays. These paragraphs detail each reason they listed in their opening concluding sentence. The students have also provided feedback to peers on how to elaborate their opinions. Each paragraph must include at least one transition word.

Provided below, are some of the sample DRAFTS they have composed for their e-books vs. physical books opinion essays. Enjoy! :)
