Constructivist 5th Grade ELA:


Opinion Writing (Introduction)
Curriculum Standards
Write opinion pieces on topics or texts, supporting a point of view with
reasons and information. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.5.1)
Introduce a topic or text clearly, state an opinion, and create an
organizational structure in which ideas are logically grouped to support
the writer's purpose. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.5.1.A)

Main Points
The different parts of an introduction are:
1. the hook/background information: Some examples are a direct
statement, a personal connection, a question, a fact or a quote
2. Opinion Statement: What the author thinks of the topic
3. Introduction to subtopics: briefly mention what they are

Learning Objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to
1. Explain the authors intention with each part of the
Introduction
2. Create their own introduction, including a hook, an opinion
statement, and introducing the subtopics of the essay.

Procedures
1. Discuss Homework: Parts of an Opinion Essay, share topic ideas
2. Discuss what we know about essay introductions. What do you
think you need to include? (look for/bring into conversation:
getting the readers attention, giving an opinion, stating what
you will talk about)
3. Begin writing own introduction
4. Share and discuss: What did you notice?
5. How can we get the readers attention? Brainstorm & look at
essay examples. Students will find or come up with different
hooks to use. We will write the types of hooks down as a group.
6. Write a different hook for your introduction, share.

Assessment
Learning Objectives will be assessed informally in a small group: does
each introduction meet the standards? This will be a group discussion,
with students thinking about each others essays and me offering
suggestions if needed. Objectives will be assessed formally mid-unit
with a formative assessment on the whole essay.

Differentiation
Each topic will be student selected, and therefore something theyre
already interested and invested in. As for difference in ability, there
arent many supports needed for this lesson, because of the small
class size and the abundance of teacher support and availability.
