This semester we have been working on opinion writing. This last week we have been working on trying to write a four sentence or more opinion piece. In the first sentence students state their opinion. In the second and third sentences they give their reasons for their opinion. In their fourth sentence they conclude the piece and restate their opinion. We worked on this piece for two weeks. Students were asked to choose a book that they would recommend to their peers. They would try to convince their classmates to read the book by writing an opinion piece and then creating a "book trailer" based on their opinion piece. To get everyone excited we viewed a few Disney movie trailers and the students were very excited to make their own videos. After all students were finished we had a "Viewing Party" and students were able to vote on which book they would like to read! This was a really engaging and motivating way to incorporate a book review and opinion piece.
