R. Reasons/Research
E. Example
O. Opinion
You can use this format for any opinion piece (could be about something silly, could be about something scientific, mathematical). It is like the hamburger writing.
O. Students write their opinion.
R. They come up with 3 reasons they have that opinion (usually based on research or something they have read or heard depending on grade level)
E. Students give an example to back up their opinion
O. Students restate their opinion. Must teach students to write the same opinion as they did in the beginning, but using different wording.
*Note: Some students change their opinion while writing, I think that is important to recognize and not dismiss. We all explore, learn, read, and change our minds regularly. That is higher level thinking if students can recognize the changing of opinion.
Clarifying (I pulled these off Google, there are others on Pinterest. I made my own for students with lines on it but of course can not find the document.)
