Unit 3: Opinion Writing
Unit Packet:
|
|
Focus:
- Introducing your opinion in an engaging way.
- Example:
Start: I think Burger Local is the best place to eat in Geneva.
Goal: Imagine a place with burgers so good you will never want to eat anywhere else ever again. Then imagine the same place is affordable, family friendly, and right down the street. I'm talking about Burger Local, the best restaurant in Geneva.
- Developing strong arguments
- Our goal is to move away from just describing things as good, fun, or cute. We want to explain to our audience why those things are good, fun, or cute, and why they should agree.
- Understanding counter arguments
- Acknowledging the counter arguments to your opinion and explaining why your opinion is still superior (in your opinion, haha)
