This week we are concentrating on ‘opinion’ writing. We were inspired by the story “Would You Rather” by John Burningham. You can listen to the story here. (Love that accent!) When we talk about our opinion we give a reason why we think that way. This is great practice for oral and written language! It is also a way to build skills in our PERSONAL AWARENESS AND RESPONSIBILITY Core Competency.
“I can advocate for myself and my ideas.”
Example: Cupcakes or cookies?
“I like cupcakes because of the icing.”
Your assignment this week is to discuss some ‘would you rather scenarios’. You can practice writing your opinion as well if you like…
**A neat trick for remembering how to spell because: Big Elephants Can Always Understand Small Elephants (thanks Francesco!)
