Grade 2 Writing Worksheet
Write your opinion. Say which one you choose.
Tip Starters: I think ... / In my opinion, ... / I believe ... / My favorite is ...
Tag, hide and seek or hopscotch: which is the best playground game?
The beach, the mountains or a big city: which is the best vacation?
The park, the beach or the backyard: which is the best place to play?
Pancakes, cereal or eggs: which is the best breakfast?
An opinion is what a person thinks or feels about something, and it is different from a fact because other people may think something else. A strong opinion piece begins with a clear sentence that says what the writer thinks, such as I think a dog is the best pet. This worksheet gives four questions that ask which one the child likes best, and the child writes one sentence that states an opinion and names the choice.
There is no right or wrong choice, but the sentence has to be clear. The reasons come next on the following worksheet. A box at the top lists starters such as I think and In my opinion. Ask your child to read the sentence aloud and ask: does it say what I choose? Then add a capital letter at the start and a period at the end.
Common Core standard: W.2.1
