Unit 10: I Can Write My Opinion introduces opinion writing in a student-centered, engaging, and easy to digest way. Students will use tools like graphic organizers, checklists, and rubrics to develop their writing, and will plan and write opinion letters and opinion books. Through vivid text examples and targeted lesson prompts, students will develop their skills as a convincing author that writes to challenge the opinion of their audience and leave them thinking about what they believe. This unit builds upon the previous skills in Scribbles to Stories® units 1-9, and teaches students how to write using reasons and facts to support their opinion. At the end of the unit, students will hold a celebration where they will publish and share their books with an audience.

With Scribbles to Stories® you can take the guesswork out of your writing block and know that you are providing a developmentally appropriate and sequenced writing program for your learners. This will be a full school year, 10 unit, curriculum with a new unit releasing each month! Let's become authors and illustrators!
