Opinion, Informative & Narrative Writing
Aligned to W.2.1 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
There are three kinds of writing: opinion (what you think and why), informative (facts about a topic), and narrative (a story with events in order). Linking words like 'because,' 'also,' and 'then' connect your ideas.
Worked example
Opinion: 'Dogs are the best pets because they are friendly.' Informative: 'Dogs need food, water, and walks.' Narrative: 'First we got the puppy, then we named her.'
Practice questions
- Write an opinion sentence using the word 'because.'
- Write two facts about an animal you like.
- Tell a short story using 'first,' 'then,' and 'last.'
