Opinion Writing Anchor Chart – O.R.E.O. Method

State a clear opinion at the beginning of a response

Provide and explain reasons supporting that opinion

Restate the opinion as a concluding sentence

Recall the four O.R.E.O. steps from the fill-in chart

Display the completed chart while modelling a short opinion paragraph.

Connect each sentence in the model to one letter of O.R.E.O. before drafting another example.

Use the fill-in chart after the sequence has been taught to check recall of opinion, reasons, explanation, and restatement.

Opinion organization — four ordered moves structure a complete response.

Reason development — writers supply reasons and then explain their support.

Conclusion writing — the final step returns to the original opinion.

Framework recall — missing terms on the companion chart are reconstructed from the acronym.
