01/02/22 – ELA Writing – Persuasive / Opinion Writing Structure
Today we learned about the structure of persuasive writing. It is a 5 paragraph essay that begins with an introduction paragraph, 3 body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.
Notice the different colours used in our “hamburger” graphic organizer.
- Red ‘easy to take care of’ is a preview for the 1st body paragraph
- Green ‘they have incredible instincts’ is a preview for the 2nd body paragraph
- Blue ‘they are independent’ is a preview for the 3rd paragraph
Your job tonight is to post your introduction sentence! It should be no longer than one single sentence. Your goal is to communicate to readers what the rest of this essay is going to be about. Keep it simple and make it interesting so that I want to continue reading it!
Here are 2 example of what you might post is:
- Cats are unique pets that will make your life better!
- A cat is the best four-legged companion that you need in your life!
