Generate a lesson on opinion writing using the OREO strategy

The OREO Opinion Writing Strategy is a structured approach to crafting opinion pieces. It consists of four key components: Opinion, Reasons, Examples, and Opinion restated. The strategy encourages students to clearly state their opinion, provide supporting reasons, back those reasons with specific examples, and conclude by restating their opinion in a new way. The document includes directions for using the OREO strategy, an example of its application, practice activities for identifying the parts of OREO, and prompts for students to choose a topic and write their own opinion paragraph. Additionally, it features a self-assessment checklist to help students evaluate their writing and a reflection section to consider their experience with the strategy.
