Third Grade Writing – Opinion Writing

Are you struggling to teach writing to your 3rd graders? Perhaps you just don’t know where to start. You’re constantly googling, ‘how do you teach writing to 3rd graders?’ or ‘how can I help my 3rd graders with writing?’ You’re tearing your hair out with frustration.

Maybe it’s because your school doesn’t provide you with a writing curriculum. So, you’re spending your precious evenings and weekends looking on Pinterest for lesson ideas. Or worse, a curriculum is provided…but it’s just downright terrible. You can’t make sense of it and your students hate it.

Perhaps your students just hate writing in general and roll their eyes at the thought of it.

Well, here’s the thing. Teaching writing ‘aint easy. In fact, it can be straight up tricky, I get it!

But don’t worry friend, I’ve got you covered.

Opinion Writing Unit | Terrific Writing Third Grade Curriculum Unit 2
Click here to grab the curriculum!

INTRODUCING TERRIFIC WRITING

Terrific Writing is a comprehensive writing curriculum for Third Grade. This curriculum is standards based (to the common core) and genre based. But best of all, it’s actually easy to teach and engaging for students!

In this curriculum, your students will develop a love of writing. The graphic organizers, interactive notebooks, and final craft will engage students much more than a blank piece of paper. The final writing piece asks students to write about something they love that they have chosen! After all, students love to write about things that they are interested in.

Writing doesn’t have to be dull and students definitely shouldn’t hate writing!

In Unit 2 ‘Opinion Writing’, students learn how to write engaging opinion writing pieces.

ARE YOU SHORT ON TIME?

This 5 week unit has EVERYTHING you need, because let’s be honest, teachers are time poor.

So, let’s get your evenings and weekends back, my friend! Take a break from lesson planning and searching for engaging materials. It’s all right here.

Are you ready? I’m going to share some of the awesome things about it!

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THIS THIRD GRADE WRITING – Opinion Writing UNIT?

First up, there are a bunch of teacher docs. Unit contents, common core standards, and teacher directions? Check.

To begin, there’s some suggested mentor texts (with links to Amazon and YouTube). Also, a scope is included which shows the 25 lessons that feature in this unit and the third grade common core standards that are relevant.

Also, there is a unit at-a-glance calendar, as well as a table which tells you what materials you will need for each lesson. Basically, I’ve tried to make this unit super easy to implement. It has everything you need!

opinion writing unit 3rd grade - scope

Next, there’s some suggested lesson times. To clarify, it doesn’t matter how long your writing block is, this unit can be adapted to suit it!

A lot of teachers struggle with finding the time to teach writing. If this is you, you’re not alone!

opinion writing unit 3rd grade

Then, there’s the 25 scripted (and step-by-step) lesson plans. The lessons follow a simple format of mini lesson, think and share, and independent writing time. There’s a lesson focus to guide you and all of the required materials are listed with numbers. For example, you’ll know exactly which posters and printables you need.

Subsequently, there’s a video that comes with this unit. This will help you organize and implement everything.

ASSESSMENT

Wondering how to assess your student’s writing? Don’t sweat it!

There’s an assessment document for this unit too. It includes a rubric to help you grade your student’s writing.

However, I’m not just throwing you to the sharks here! Rubrics can sometimes be generic or difficult to decipher. That’s why I’ve made a comprehensive document with teacher directions, as well as elaborations and examples. Moreover, there’s a video to help you understand the rubric.

OPinion Writing MENTOR TEXTS

I do give a list of suggested mentor texts that you can source, but in addition, I provide three original mentor texts for this unit! These come in PDF and PowerPoint versions (as well as color and black and white). You can print them in any size or just display them on an interactive whiteboard.

The great thing about these original mentor texts is that they include all of the features of opinion writing that are taught in the unit. For example, students will see examples of opinions, reasons, and a closing.

Opinion Writing POSTERS

This unit comes with 19 posters that you can reference to! Each lesson corresponds to them. Most importantly, they are great for giving writing ideas and reinforcing the opinion writing structure.

You can print them in color and laminate them. They are great for displaying in the classroom. However, you can also display these posters digitally (if you have limited printing options).

OPinion Writing PRINTABLES

There are student workbook covers that you can print. There are three options, ‘My Writing Folder’, ‘My Writing Notebook’, and ‘My Writing Journal’. Your students can glue these covers onto their folders or books. The covers come in color and black and white (there are also boy and girl versions).

opinion writing unit third grade curriculum

Let’s now take a look at the writing prompts, worksheets, interactive notebooks and graphic organizers!

Hands On Printables

There are two interactive notebooks, as well as other cut and paste sorting activities. This way, learning is hands on and engaging!

Graphic Organizers

There are a variety of graphic organizers to help students plan their opinion writing and organize their thoughts.

opinion writing unit third grade curriculum - OREO graphic organizer

Prompts and Worksheets

There are many different writing prompts and worksheets to help students learn to write opinions and reasons.

This is the common core standard for opinion writing that is covered with these printables –

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.1
Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with reasons.

The Final Writing Piece

After students have learnt about opinions and reasons, they begin to prepare for their final writing piece.

These are the common core standards for opinion writing that are covered with these printables –

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.1.A
Introduce the topic or text they are writing about, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure that lists reasons.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.1.B
Provide reasons that support the opinion.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.1.C
Use linking words and phrases (e.g., because, therefore, since, forexample) to connect opinion and reasons.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.1.D
Provide a concluding statement or section.

Writing Checklists

After students have written their first draft, they use two checklists to proofread their work. One checklist grades opinion writing structure and the other is a more generic checklist for grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

The students do a self check, peer check, and adult check.

Writing Craft

The students create a writing craft for their final writing piece. It’s a flipbook, so they can add as many pages underneath as they need! This craft is great for a bulletin baord display.

They write about their favorite thing (that they own). This gives students the choice to write about anything they like (which keeps them far more engaged)!

opinion writing unit third grade curriculum - writing craft

Task Cards

I think it’s super imortant to have purposeful early finisher tasks and extension activities during writing lessons. Above all, we should be challenging our advanced writers. That’s why this unit also includes task cards for opinion writing.

Podcast

The Terrific Teacherpreneur Podcast

Are you looking for tips and advice for being a teacherpreneur?

But what if you’re a busy full-time teacher or full-time teacher author? What if you could learn about business on your commute to work or on your morning walk?

The great news is that I have exactly what you need!

The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast features short and sweet episodes that are full of actionable tips for selling on TpT, running a business, and figuring out the headache that is marketing.

If you’re a TpT seller, listen to the podcast here!

The Terrific Teacherpreneur Podcast - tpt seller teacher author teacher seller

why should you listen to podcasts?

Here’s the thing. Running a business can be exhausting. More often than not, you need peace and quiet so that you can sit at a computer and do work for a few hours. But that’s a luxury, am I right?

If you’re a full-time teacher or parent, it doesn’t feel like there is enough hours in the day!

But here’s the thing about podcasts. You get to ‘work on your business’ and learn about marketing…while you’re living your busy life.

You can listen to podcasts while you do housework or exercise. They are a great way to learn tips and tricks for your business while you multi-task and get other things done!

Some of my most successful episodes are on topics like –

  • How To Make More Money From Your TPT Store
  • How To Get More TpT Followers
  • How To Grow Your TPT Store In 2022
  • How Updating Your Existing TPT Products Can Boost Your Sales
  • Why You’re Not Making Sales
  • How To Get More TpT Reviews

AUDITS

An audit is a screen recorded video. I will record myself and my screen as I look through your platform. This is great real-time feedback as I will point out which areas need improvement and give my recommendations.

Storefront Audit

The storefront audit provides a valuable perspective – I will give my first impression of your TpT storefront. You can use my feedback to adjust and finalize your branding (logos, quote boxes, banners, color scheme, fonts, and covers). I will discuss product covers in depth and give tips for titles, pricing, types of products, and custom categories.

Product Audit

The product audit is my most popular audit! I will look through 5 TpT listings and give feedback and helpful advice. You will receive feedback on your titles, product covers, thumbnails, previews, video previews, descriptions, pricing, and other features of your listing.

Pinterest Audit

The Pinterest audit is a detailed analysis of your Pinterest account. I will look through your Pinterest profile and provide feedback and helpful tips on things like SEO, pins, boards, and descriptions. Additionally, I will give tips for pinning strategy and current best practices on Pinterest as of 2022.

Investing in your business can be scary, but it can have a massive impact. Once your storefront, listings or Pinterest account are optimized, they can start becoming very profitable.

Zoom Coaching Call

If you’re not looking for an audit, you can request a coaching call over zoom.

This is a great opportunity to ask questions and seek advice about the direction of your business overall. You can share your screen if you want feedback on anything.

Here’s what others had to say about their coaching call with me.

Hi! My name is Alex and welcome to Terrific Teaching Tactics. I create no prep and engaging literacy resources for K-3 learners.

I also help teachers create profitable businesses selling their own teaching resources on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Terrific teaching tactics

In my Teachers Pay Teachers store, my focus is colorful, engaging, and interactive resources for early elementary students. I love making learning fun! As a teacher, I have taught 3rd and 1st grade and I always enjoy teaching Art or making other subjects as crafty as possible. My resources are a mixture of crafts, color by codes, cute worksheets, and writing prompts. I love making my resources no prep for teachers and fun for students.

The Terrific Teacherpreneur

When I’m not creating resources for teachers, I also love to help other teacher-authors who sell on TpT. I use my Instagram, Facebook group, email list, podcast, and blog to share as many free tips as possible. I also offer courses for sellers to help them transform and grow their stores. Have you ever considered selling your teaching resources online? I can help! Check out my blog to see some helpful posts for new sellers.

Behind the scenes

When I’m not working, I love going to the gym, reading, or binge-watching Netflix! I’m also a fan of rollerblading by the beach. I love spending time with family and travelling the world whenever I get the chance. For example, I have lived in England, Ireland, Germany, and Kenya and also travelled to other places in Europe and Asia. I absolutely love seeing new places! One day I’d love to be able to go to the TpT conference in the US and meet up with the amazing TpT sellers I know.

Thank you for visiting my site Terrific Teaching Tactics and reading all about me,

Mentor texts are a game changer! They’re great Mentor texts are a game changer!

They’re great as a writing lesson warm-up because they can -

• introduce the writing genre
• show an example of what the writing genre looks like
• teach the text structure and features of the writing genre
• inspire students to improve their writing

Plus all the other benefits of a read aloud!

Be sure to read mentor texts every writing lesson if you can 🙌🏻

Double tap if you agree! 💗

Wanna know how to engage reluctant writers? 

Don’t tell them what to write about, let them decide!

If you force a reluctant writer to write about a topic that they find dull, then there’s no hope! 😬

Perhaps your student really loves cars, dinosaurs, or a certain video game. 

Allow them to write about something they are passionate about! They’ll be a lot less reluctant 🙌🏻

Let’s look at the video game example. 

• They can write a narrative where they pretend to be a character in the game. 

• They can write an opinion piece where they write about why the game is the best. 

• They can write an informational piece where they explain the rules of the game or how to play. 

I know you might be set on a certain writing prompt but sometimes flexibility is required when it comes to reluctant writers.

I hope you like this tip. Be sure to save this post for later! 💾

‘I’m obsessed with these! There are so many mi ‘I’m obsessed with these! There are so many mixed up sentences products on TPT and I’ve used many of them, but looking back I realized how impossible the word choices were! My students can actually read these words and figure out the sentence on their own instead of just copying something without reading it. Genius!”

I received this feedback on my decodable sentence building activities the other day and I was overjoyed! That’s exactly why I created these. Science of reading aligned and actually decodable! 🙌🏻

Want to have a profitable blog? You have to be wil Want to have a profitable blog? You have to be willing to be salesy! 💰

Yup…scary I know!

But here’s the thing. I make hundreds of dollars from blog posts and they are always the ones about my resources!

If you don’t talk about your resources, you can’t drive traffic to TPT.

Check out this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast to learn more! 🎙️

Tell me in the comments, do you find it hard to be salesy?

Reviews aren’t something that you can control! ❌

Sure, you can remind buyers to leave reviews. But this won’t change the fact that most buyers just don’t leave reviews 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reviews will come with time, I promise! 
They will increase as your sales increase 🙂

Don’t dwell on it. 
Don’t find dodgy ways to get them.

Instead, spend your energy creating and selling great products that people want to buy (and therefore review)!

Focus on product creation, optimizing your TPT listings, and marketing your resources!

Here’s my suggestions for what to write in your Here’s my suggestions for what to write in your weekly emails!

• Share your long-form content (e.g. blog posts)
• Provide freebies (not too often)
• Share tips, hacks, and strategies relevant to your niche

In this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast, I dive into this topic so be sure to listen! 🎙️ 

Tell me below, do you ever struggle with what to write in your weekly emails? Will you be listening to the episode? 🙂

When it comes to marketing on IG/FB or emailing yo When it comes to marketing on IG/FB or emailing your list, it’s so important to serve your audience!

Educate, inform, or entertain!

This can look like offering freebies, but mostly it’s sharing knowledge, tips/hacks or maybe even memes/jokes.

When your audience feels like they get value from following/subscribing, they build the ‘know, like, trust’ factor with you. This leads to sales! 💰

If all you do is show up and talk about your products, your intention is to serve yourself and your audience can sense it. So it just isn’t as effective 😬

A good example is me! If every Instagram post or podcast episode was about my courses, would you still be here? ❌ Or if I ghosted you and only showed up twice a year when I had a course to sell. Ugh that would be so annoying, right?! 🙌🏻

The other thing is that serving others can be fun. I really enjoy sharing tips! I’m sure you will too when it comes to your audience 🙂

But Instagram is always people sharing their successes, so I thought it would be nice to share my chapter 1 and not just my chapter 10. 

I earned $2.70 my first month on TPT! And as you can see, the following months were around $100. 

We all start somewhere! 🙌🏻

Email marketing is a great way to direct traffic t Email marketing is a great way to direct traffic to your TPT store!
