Opinion Writing Homework Before or After Dinner

Print the page and read the directions with your child: Circle your choice. Fill in the organizer. Then use it to write your opinion paragraph on the lines. Afterward, talk about what they wrote or drew.

An opinion writing page on the topic Should kids do homework before dinner or after dinner? Children circle Before or After, then fill in an organizer with their opinion, two reasons with a detail each and a conclusion that says the opinion again in a new way, before writing the paragraph on the lines. The directions on the page read: Circle your choice. Fill in the organizer. Then use it to write your opinion paragraph on the lines.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade opinion writing, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with writing opinion paragraphs. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

An opinion sentence, two or three reasons, an example for each reason and a closing sentence that says the opinion again. The planners give a box for each part, so children fill in short notes before they draft (W.3.1).

A hook is a first sentence that grabs the reader, like a question or a surprising fact. One planner asks for two hook tries, a question and a fact, and two closing tries, so your child can pick the stronger one.

Yes. A letter to the principal and a poster both try to get the reader to agree. The letter planner has a greeting, the change you want, two reasons with examples, a polite closing and a signature. The poster planner has a headline, a picture and three reasons.

5 of the 23 sheets have an answer key. The planners and open writing pages have none, since each child writes their own opinion. Check that every reason answers why and that the closing restates the opinion.
