    How to use the opinion writing prompt

    1. Spin a prompt and have students state their opinion in one sentence.
    2. Ask for two or three reasons that back it up.
    3. Great as a five-minute warm-up before longer writing.

    Opinion Writing Prompt questions

    What age is this best for?

    The light topics suit primary and lower-secondary especially, but they make a quick, fun warm-up at any level. Edit for older students as needed.

    How do I turn it into longer writing?

    Ask for an opening opinion, a paragraph per reason, and a closing sentence — the prompt scales from a warm-up to a full piece.
