(2 ratings)$5.00
Add to cartDescription
Prepare for the SBAC CAASPP test with 10 Finish the Opinion Essay brochures that allow students to write both the introduction and conclusion to finish an essay. Differentiating is easy with these printable or editable digital stories. Start by analyzing the existing body paragraphs for the author's opinion and reasons. Then students add an introduction that will hook the reader and clearly state the opinion, then write a conclusion that restates the author's stance, reasons, and call to action. Finish off the activity by crafting a meaningful title and designing the story brochure cover art. Once completed, these story trifolds are a fun, colorful, space saving way to display both student writing and artwork.
This resources includes both printable and editable, digital formats that allows you to support and differentiate for all student needs. The printable version of the stories uses the font Open Dyslexic to make reading easier for students with dyslexia.
