About this resource
Description
The Share Your Opinion About Your Favorite Book Activity teaches young writers how to write a clear opinion piece about a book they love. Children name the book, tell what they think of it, give two strong reasons and finish with a closing sentence, the same steps they will use in every opinion essay they write.
Start with the eight Opinion Word Cards. Each card shows a starter or linking word such as “I think,” “because” or “That is why,” with a color tag that names its job: opinion, reason, linking or closing. Children use the cards to fill in the Book Opinion Planner one box at a time, then copy their sentences onto the My Book Review page and draw the book’s cover. A practice worksheet on fact and opinion checks that children know the difference before they write.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with steps, prep and an extension idea
- 8 Opinion Word Cards (opinion, reason, linking and closing words)
- A Book Opinion Planner organizer
- A My Book Review publishing page with a draw-the-cover box
- A 2nd Grade practice worksheet: fact or opinion?
- An answer key with a model planner and the practice answers
Why This 1st Grade Essays Activity Helps Kids
This 1st grade essays activity gives children a simple plan they can follow on their own. First, the color-tagged word cards show exactly how an opinion piece is built, so children know what each sentence needs to do. Second, the planner breaks the writing into small boxes, which keeps young writers from getting stuck on a blank page. Third, publishing a book review gives the writing a real audience, and children love sharing a book they enjoy.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Model the planner first with a class read-aloud, then let children choose their own favorite book. Post the finished reviews on a “Books We Love” bulletin board, or bind them into a class book of recommendations for the library corner. At home, use the Share Your Opinion About Your Favorite Book Activity after a bedtime story and ask your child to read their review to a family member.
