Preview Unit

This writing unit is perfect to tie into the spring season while still addressing critical writing skills like researching, using graphic organizers and templates to help students arrange what they've learned about Earth's conservation into a strong opinion writing piece.

Students will explore 4 popular picture books to gain valuable information about why it is important to conserve Earth's natural resources. Through several read-aloud texts students gather facts to support their opinion.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  • Teacher guide to help you plan for your mini-unit (approx. 8 days in duration)

  • An originally written article on Earth Day to introduce important concepts

  • Student activities to go along with daily lesson (provided in printable & digital formats)

  • Rough Draft templates for student writing

  • Final copy template for the students' final drafts

  • Kid-friendly writing rubric to assess each student's writing piece

WHAT STUDENTS LEARN:

  • What is an opinion?

  • How to support their opinion with facts

  • How to research facts using multiple texts

  • How to organize their writing using graphic organizers and templates

This mini unit can be used inside of Google Classroom. The activities can be completed on any digital device. There are even links to the read-aloud videos of the picture books so that students can participate in the stories digitally.

WHAT OTHER TEACHHERS ARE SAYING...

Sara H. says...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is such a great resource! It was student and teacher-friendly! I always appreciate finding a resource that is engaging for students.

Annie K. says...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a lot of fun to do with the kids in a small mini-lesson. What I loved the most was that there are actual lesson plans with this! ... It was easy to follow and alter as I needed to. Great resource!

Kristina W. says...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The scaffolding on this product is amazing. Struggling students had lots of support and my overachievers could write as much as they wanted. The book suggestions were great and I also enjoyed the option to add some of your own choices in. It makes it fit with many different grades and subject areas.

PLEASE NOTE: This unit does not teach the foundations of opinion writing. Therefore, this unit would work best with students who have already learned the basic parts of opinion writing and have had some experience in writing an opinion piece. This mini-unit would also compliment and work alongside a complete unit on opinion writing that you may already be using with your students or plan to use.
