Strong and Supportive Details in Opinion Texts: Pets

Great writers include facts and evidence to support ideas in an opinion text. In this worksheet, children practice identifying opinion statements and supporting details in a short passage about our animal companions. Kids then form and write their own opinion about whether dogs or cats make the best pets, with four strong supporting details. Designed for third graders, this appealing worksheet is a fun and memorable introduction to opinion writing and the nonfiction writing process.
