Argument (Opinion) Writing
What is argument writing?
Arguments are used for many purposes—to
change the reader’s point of view, to bring about
some action on the reader’s part, or to ask the
reader to accept the writer’s explanation or
evaluation of a concept, issue, or problem. An
argument is a reasoned, logical way of
demonstrating that the writer’s position, belief, or
conclusion is valid.

Argument (Opinion) Writing
“If you want a book about penguins that will be
a big hit with first graders, then Tacky the Penguin
by Helen Lester is the book you should read. First,
most first graders enjoy funny characters, and
Tacky is hilarious. He wears ridiculous clothes and
he always does the wrong thing which gets him in
a lot of trouble. Second, even though you can’t
learn facts about penguins from this book, it
would be an easy story for first graders to
understand. For those reasons you should read
Tacky the Penguin to the first graders. But
be careful because they might start
laughing too loud!”

Informative/Explanatory Writing
Question/Answer Book
This lesson or unit of study focuses on a “learn by doing”
series of reading and writing activities. As a class, students
list what they know about a topic (such as insects),
prompted by examining pictures in a book about the topic.
Students pose questions they have about the topic, again
using picture books as a visual prompt. Students then search
for answers to the questions they have posed, using
Websites, read-alouds, and easy readers.

Question/Answer Book
Periodic reviews of gathered information become
the backdrop to ongoing inquiry, discussion,
reporting, and confirming information. The lesson
culminates with the publishing of a collaborative
question and answer book which reports on
information about the chosen topic, with each
student contributing one page to the book.

How To Books – What’s Key?
• How To books teach people something
• Kids need to look at a lot of examples of How To
books before they write – immerse them in How
To Books
• Brainstorm a lot of How To ideas
• Model how to write How To books

Research Writing
How To Books – What’s Key?
• Kids need time to plan out their steps before they
ever begin writing
• Show how to use How To paper
• Give students time to check their directions – did
they leave anything out
• Use text models to teach “helpers” in How To
books (such as pictures, numbering the steps,
and creating a title)

Then get How-To paper.
Then plan the steps on paper.
Maybe sketch the steps.
Then write it!
Write a first page that tells you what you need.
After you write, recheck your directions with a partner.
