Tell Me What You Think

In this activity, students plan and then write a structured draft of an opinion piece. Students read an example to discover the characteristics of this type of text. Students learn to write an opinion piece on how to raise awareness about taking action to preserve lakes and marine ecosystems. An opinion text on lake conservation in a Centre franco online textbook is used in the "J'apprends" section of the activity where the student must read the text and find the features of the opinion text. When you open the link to the resource, you will be prompted to choose an Ontario French-language school board and log in to a school account. If this is not possible, you can find another opinion text about protecting lakes or ecosystems to use with your child and ask them to find the features of the opinion text.
