Unit 2 "Boxes and Bullets" Personal and Persuasive Essays (Opinion Writing)
Boxes and Bullets-Opinion Writing. In our next unit of study we will be working on the basics of a 5-paragraph essay on various topics. Here is the thesis format template that we will be using that will allow my students to become essay writing experts. Students will learn to write a concluding paragraph with a counter-argument (pros and cons) for added emphasis for their thesis opinion essay.
Here is a good review site that I found for writing opinion essays. Not everything applies, but I found it interesting and I think it will be helpful for the kids.

Take a look at this site; you can get some great ideas by browising through some of the tutorials:
