Opinion Writing (Grades 4-6)

Our Opinion Writing lesson plan for grades 4-6 will introduce your students to the basics of opinionated writing, and help them craft their own opinionated responses to open-ended questions.

Included with this lesson are some adjustments or additions that you can make if you’d like, found in the “Options for Lesson” section of the Classroom Procedure page. One of the optional additions to this lesson is to help struggling students brainstorm reasons for an opinionated topic by giving them different subjects that they can choose from.

Description

Additional information, what our opinion writing (grades 4-6) lesson plan includes.

Lesson Objectives and Overview: Opinion Writing guides students through the process of brainstorming a topic, outlining their paper, and writing a five-paragraph essay on a topic of their choosing. At the end of the lesson, students will be able to successfully write a well-organized and persuasive opinion paper. This lesson is for students in 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade.

Classroom Procedure

Every lesson plan provides you with a classroom procedure page that outlines a step-by-step guide to follow. You do not have to follow the guide exactly. The guide helps you organize the lesson and details when to hand out worksheets. It also lists information in the green box that you might find useful. You will find the lesson objectives, state standards, and number of class sessions the lesson should take to complete in this area. In addition, it describes the supplies you will need as well as what and how you need to prepare beforehand. The only supplies you will need for this lesson are the handouts, and to prepare ahead of time, you can copy them.

Options for Lesson

Included with this lesson is an “Options for Lesson” section that lists a number of suggestions for activities to add to the lesson or substitutions for the ones already in the lesson. This lesson lists two optional additions for students who may be struggling with the lesson material. With these students, you can help them brainstorm reasons for an opinionated topic by giving them different subjects that they can then choose from. You can also have them create a pros and cons list for each side to discover the reasons for each topic.

Teacher Notes

The teacher notes page includes a paragraph with additional guidelines and things to think about as you begin to plan your lesson. This page also includes lines that you can use to add your own notes as you’re preparing for this lesson.

OPINION WRITING (GRADES 4-6) LESSON PLAN CONTENT PAGES

Opinion writing.

The Opinion Writing (Grades 4-6) lesson plan includes two content pages. It begins by discussing opinionated writing. Opinions are how you think or feel about a subject. People have opinions on everything that you can think of, from favorite school subject to least favorite vegetable. Different people have different opinions. Your favorite fast food restaurant may be different from someone else’s. It’s normal for people to have different opinions, and this is what makes people unique!

The lesson next states that opinion writing allows writers to share what they believe. Opinionated writing aims to share your opinion and back it up with reasons. You can use opinion writing to let other people know what and why you’re thinking. There are specific words that we use when writing in this way. We often use words such as like, I believe, and I think in opinion writing. When you write an opinion essay, you must include reasons for your opinion. The best way to find these reasons is to think about why you believe that way. You must then back these reasons up with specific examples. This will make your argument more compelling and will help people understand your opinion.

The lesson then includes two paragraphs. Students should read the paragraphs and try to determine which is informational and which is opinion-based. The first paragraph explains to readers what a natural habitat is. The author gives examples of habitats and what they offer different species. It doesn’t tell how the author feels about the subject and primarily share information about it. This paragraph is the informational paragraph. The second paragraph is opinion-based and discusses why the author thinks people shouldn’t cut down natural habitats. They use strong language, like the words awful and wrong to explain how they feel.

OPINION WRITING (GRADES 4-6) LESSON PLAN WORKSHEETS

The Opinion Writing (Grades 4-6) lesson plan includes three worksheets: an activity worksheet, a practice worksheet, and a homework assignment. You can refer to the guide on the classroom procedure page to determine when to hand out each worksheet.

INFORMATIONAL VS OPINIONATED ACTIVITY WORKSHEET

Students will work with a partner to complete the activity worksheet. They will read two passages and decide which passage is informational and which is opinion-based. They will then underline the opinion-based words and circle the reasons the author gives.

PASSAGE PRACTICE WORKSHEET

The practice worksheet asks students to read a passage and answer questions about it. These questions ask whether the passage is informational or opinion-based, what their personal opinion on the topic is, and more.

OPINION WRITING HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT

For the homework assignment, students will read a short prompt and answer the questions in a way that shows what they believe. The questions are open-ended and students should back up their opinion with specific reasons.

Worksheet Answer Keys

This lesson plan includes answer keys for the practice worksheet and the homework assignment, though they note that students’ answers will vary.  If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.

Thank you for submitting a review!

Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!

Opinion writing allowed me to guide the students how to share their opinions. Students all identified that opinions differ from facts. However, opinions can be supported by facts.

The Pax Romana: Understanding its Impact on Ancient Roman Society and Beyond

This essay about the Pax Romana explores the period from 27 BCE to 180 CE, emphasizing its role as a golden era of peace, prosperity, and cultural integration under Roman rule. It highlights the expansion of Roman infrastructure and the sophisticated mix of military strength and diplomacy that maintained peace. The piece also addresses the social inequalities that marred this era and examines its lasting impact on law, governance, and religion, underscoring the complexities and contradictions of Roman administration and its profound influence on Western civilization.

How it works

The Pax Romana, spanning from 27 BCE to 180 CE under the guidance of Emperor Augustus to its conclusion, marked a golden era in Roman history that profoundly influenced the ancient world and left lasting legacies that echo through time. This period, characterized by remarkable stability and prosperity under Roman rule, was not just a mere cessation of warfare but a dynamic phase of cultural integration and administrative innovation.

During the Pax Romana, Rome’s infrastructure reached its zenith with the construction of extensive road networks, aqueducts, and trade corridors that linked distant parts of the empire, enhancing economic interconnectivity and cultural exchange.

This intricate infrastructure not only facilitated the booming trade across vast distances but also enabled a melting pot of ideas and cultural practices that enriched Roman society, making it a vibrant hub of cosmopolitan activity.

The peace achieved during this era was largely underpinned by the strategic prowess of the Roman military, complemented by adept diplomatic maneuvers. Rome’s approach to governance during this time involved a mix of military strength and clever diplomacy, where forging alliances and maintaining a balance of power were key. The concept of Pax Deorum, or the Peace of the Gods, also played a critical role by encouraging religious pluralism, which helped integrate various communities under the Roman fold.

However, the era was not devoid of its darker aspects. Despite the outward appearance of prosperity, social disparities were stark. The elite enjoyed lavish lifestyles, starkly contrasted by the struggles of the lower classes and slaves, who formed the backbone of the empire’s economy but lived in harsh conditions. These contradictions highlighted the complexities of Roman society, where the veneer of peace often masked underlying tensions and inequalities.

The imprint of the Pax Romana on subsequent history is undeniable. It established foundational principles of law and governance that influenced contemporary legal systems, and its role in the spread of Christianity set the stage for profound religious transformations in Europe. The cultural and architectural achievements of this time remain landmarks of human achievement.

In essence, the Pax Romana was a period of significant growth and contradiction. It showcased the heights of Roman administrative, military, and cultural capabilities, yet it also exposed the inherent challenges of managing such a vast empire. Its enduring legacy serves both as a source of inspiration and a cautionary tale, reminding us of the complex interplay between power, culture, and governance in human societies.
