Opinion Writing: Put Reasons in Order
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: sequencing opinion reasons for a reader
1
Write your opinion at the top.
2
Write the reason you want to say first.
3
Write the reason you want to say next.
4
Add First before reason one.
5
Add Also or Next before reason two.
6
Read the ordered reasons to an adult and ask whether they follow clearly.
- Explain that either reason can come first; the goal is a readable order, not a single correct sequence.
- Keep linking words visible as choices rather than requiring exact spelling.
- Have the child orally rehearse the sequence before writing.
