Opinion Writing 1: “Today, I want to teach you that speechwriting is a kind of opinion writing. The writer, or speaker, puts forth an opinion – a thesis statement – and then gives reasons, details, and examples that support that opinion. The tricky part is that the writer, or speaker, has to choose reasons that will convince his or her audience.”

Opinion Writing 2: “Today I want to teach you that one way writers of persuasive speeches come up with their ideas is by seeing problems and imagining solutions.”

Opinion Writing 3: “Today, I want to teach you that writers change the world not just by looking at what’s broken, but also by looking at what’s beautiful. Writers write to get others to pay attention to people, places, things, or ideas that they might otherwise walk right past.”

Opinion Writing 4: “I want to teach you that when you want your writing to persuade people, to make them think and act in particular ways, you need to think about your audience and work to reach that audience. One way to reach your audience is to address them directly.”
