This unit aims to bring opinion writing to first-graders. First-graders will learn to appreciate the power and purposes of writing. Students will learn the art of persuasion and the role their writing can play. The unit begins with teaching students that writing can give them a way to make and defend important decisions. Eventually, children will use their skills at writing to make and defend judgments to write reviews of all sorts- restaurant reviews, movie reviews, book reviews. Our main focus will be book reviews.
Students will record their book reviews (think Reading Rainbow style) and to celebrate the class will view all the reviews!
