Today we began our new unit on opinion writing. We learned that an opinion is anything we believe, like/dislike, think, or prefer/choose. The children practiced forming an opinion and stating their opinions. We briefly talked about how opinions can be changed as we become persuaded or convinced by others. We practiced using a continuum. I gave the phrase, vanilla is the best ice cream flavor and the children chose, yes, no or unsure. The "yes" kids tried to convince the others why vanilla was the best and then the "no" kids had their turn. We repeated the exercise and talked about what persuaded the "unsure" kids where to move.
We will be getting more practice at forming opinions and persuading our families this week. We will be looking for your feed back and responses as we draft letters to you about something we think we should have or do...to prepare yourself please watch the link below! I think we have some very persuasive personalities in this group of super heroes!
Enjoy!
