About this resource
These graphic organizers help kids in grades 2-5 write better opinion pieces. When students need to write about what they think, these templates make it much easier.
This set is in a PDF format and printable. It consists of 10 pages of worksheets.
The main organizer uses OREO (Opinion, Reason, Evidence, and Restate). It's a simple way for kids to remember all the parts they need in their writing. Just like the cookie!
You also get a pros & cons chart so students can think about good and bad points before they decide what they think.
There's a Fact vs. Opinion Chart that helps kids tell the difference between what's real and what someone thinks.
The Persuasive Writing Map guides students to develop a clear beginning, middle, and end.
The Paragraph Frame provides sentence starters to get their ideas flowing.
These work great for writing time, centres, small groups, or when kids work alone. Just print them out and you're ready to go. Use them for regular classwork, homework, or even tests.
The best part? Kids actually understand how to use them. They break down opinion writing into small, easy steps.
