This challenging worksheet treats opinion writing like a puzzle third graders have to solve. In Multiple Choice, students pick the strongest reason to support "I think everyone should drink milk," decide what comes next after a field day opening, identify "believe" as an opinion signal word, and label "As you can see" as a conclusion.
The Fill in the Blank section names the parts of a paragraph: a "strong" reason, the linking phrase "for example," the difference between a fact and an opinion, and why a conclusion should restate the opinion using different words. Students leave thinking like real persuasive writers.
