Grade and Subject

4^th Grade Writing

Standard:

ELACC4W1:

Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons.

a.     Introduce a topic or text clearly, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure in which related ideas are grouped to support the writer’s purpose.

Objective: 

The student should be able to use writing to express an opinion.

Task:

Pretend you have just moved to a new neighborhood.  Write a letter to your mom explaining which neighborhood you like the most and why. 

Student Response:

            I like the old neighborhood the most because it had my old friends. I also like it because it was bigger and we had more space to play different sports and games.  In the new neighborhood I have not met any friends so I am usually bored.  The friends I met so far only like to play one sport.

Teacher Feedback:

            This is a great response.  I liked the way you stated your opinion on your old neighborhood and the way you provided examples.  You also gave me reasons why you dislike the new neighborhood.  Keep up the good work!
