Original PromptCER opinion writing with passages
This resource focuses on developing the skill of constructing a well-supported opinion paragraph. It aims to enhance students' abilities in identifying claims, extracting relevant evidence, and providing logical reasoning based on two contemporary debates: school uniforms and the impact of social media on children. Students will explore arguments for and against each topic, specifically examining how uniforms can promote equality and focus in school, while also discussing the potential limitations on self-expression. In parallel, they will analyze social media's dual role as a tool for connection and a source of distraction, investigating its effects on well-being. The resource includes a structured graphic organizer to help students practice asserting claims, finding supporting evidence, and articulating reasoning clearly.
