This is my FAVORITE way to introduce opinion writing! We watched a short clip based on the book Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. It is an optical illusion, and the students had to form an opinion about it being a duck or a rabbit. They broke into two groups to write down ideas to support their opinion... They were very "top secret" about this, whispering so the other opinion group couldn't hear their ideas! We talked about how we are all entitled to our own opinion, and we can "respectfully disagree" with each other in a kind way. We then had a friendly debate at the end!
