Have you ever pretended to be someone else? How about your favorite eating utensil? Weird, you say? Visit with Spoon and his family in a read-along video while you learn how to write an opinion piece!
What would it be like to be a spoon? What types of things would you see in a day?
Now that you have completed the previous Opinion Writing series Related Lessons, found in the right-hand sidebar, you will choose a piece of silverware and write an opinion paragraph about why you would like to be this item.
This is a fun and fantastical lesson that allows you to use your imagination to create a fantasy story to develop your writing skills for opinion writing! You will choose a utensil and write about why this utensil is the best from the utensil's point of view!
Amy Krouse Rosenthal wrote a book about a spoon who is not happy as a spoon, and thinks it might be better to be another utensil. Join Spoon on his journey of self-discovery as he explores all the benefits of being a spoon.
Spoon by Amy Krouse Rosenthal: from Mr. Paulson Reads
Does Spoon seem happy at the end of the story? Explain your answer to someone.
