Step 6 - Writing

Write an opinion piece
You have read a text about the rising cost of school supplies. Now you are going to write an opinion piece.
- Think about the following questions and make notes:
- What, in your opinion, are school supplies that every student should have?
- Who should pay for them?
- How do you deal with parents who can’t afford to buy school supplies for their children?
- Write an opinion piece, using your notes.
- Start with a short introduction in which you explain the problem.
- State your opinion and support it with arguments.
- Finish with a conclusion.
- Ask your teacher how many words you have to use.
