Description

Opinion writing lessons, debate activities, book review writing lessons, writing rubrics, printable writing paper, posters and visuals, graphic organizers for planning, and more - for second grade students!

This 4 week nonfiction / informational writing unit will help you teach your second grade students how to write opinion pieces, engage in mini debates, and create book reviews / awards.

The lessons begin by having students write opinion pieces about hot topics such as, “Should schools require uniforms?” They will engage in a simple “debate” to wrap up this part of the unit. Then, students will write book reviews and give awards for categories such as “Wonderful Word Choice.”

This unit is designed to be taught toward the end of the year. 

In this unit, students will learn how to:
- Plan and write persuasive pieces
- Craft engaging introductions and conclusions for their pieces
- Provide background information on the topic that they are writing about
- Give reasons to support an opinion, and expand upon those reasons with more details and examples
- Use evidence from the text to support an opinion, when writing about a book
- Separate ideas by using different paragraphs
- Include descriptions and adjectives in their writing
- Use transition words
- Combine sentences and vary sentence beginnings
- Follow writing conventions
- Revise and edit their work independently and with a partner

This unit includes:
- 19 detailed minilessons that will last about 4 weeks
- Daily language arts/grammar exercises that complement the minilessons
- Clear unit goals, daily objectives, and Common Core alignment
- Posters, visual aids, and materials to go with the minilessons (all color materials also have black and white versions included)
- Printable writing paper
- A writing stages display and materials to make a genre bulletin board
- A list of mentor texts to accompany the unit
- FAQs and important information to help you set up the writing workshop
- Rubrics, anecdotal note forms, and other materials to help you get organized 
- An opinion writing rubric that you can use throughout the year
- 140 total pages of materials and resources

FAQ

My file isn’t printing correctly. How do I fix this?

The vast majority of printing problems can be fixed with the “Print as Image” solution in Adobe Reader! Learn more about how to do that here HERE.

Where can I learn more about your literacy products and how to use them?

We have a free catalog that walks you through my main resources. It can help you decide which resources are right for you and your students! You can grab the catalog HERE.

I teach in a split-grade class (i.e. 1st and 2nd). How should I select products for my students?

Alison always recommends getting the lower of the two grade levels. So if you teach in a 1st and 2nd grade class, get a 1st grade version. You can always differentiate in small groups or 1:1 to challenge your more advanced students!

I teach in Canada and am looking to buy some of your literacy products. How does the Canadian curriculum align to the U.S. curriculum?

Our Canadian customers tell us that it’s best to purchase one grade level down. If you teach first grade, for example, try a Kindergarten product. You can also check the preview file of any resource in our TpT store to see example lessons to help you make your decision!

These games are great! I love that there is an assessment with it so I can really see what skills my students need more practice with. Once they learn the games they are able to do them independently as well.

I used this resource when a couple of my students picked decoding multisyllabic words as their goal. This really allowed them to work on their goal independently! I loved that they were able to own their learning.

My students love these games for small groups, and once some of them are able to play them independently, they are able to teach others! Great academic skill review that is fun for them!
