Opinion Writing: Add an Example

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: adding a concrete example to support a reason

1

Write one opinion and one reason.

2

Finish: For example, ___.

3

Draw the example you named.

4

Circle the detail that connects to your reason.

5

Read the opinion, reason, and example in order.

6

Tell an adult whether your example proves or explains your reason.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use an everyday topic with experiences the child can describe safely.
  2. Distinguish an example from a new unrelated reason by rereading the because sentence.
  3. Accept a spoken example first, then help the child choose one detail to record.
