You have learned about using the OREO strategy to state your opinion. You have also learned how to give reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Strong writers use the OREO strategy when writing about their opinion.

Today, you will learn about the last step in the OREO strategy.

​

Opinion Writing

The last step in the OREO strategy is “Opinion.”

In the last step of the OREO strategy, you restate your opinion by sharing how you think or feel about your topic.

This step helps you write a strong conclusion to wrap up your opinion writing.

​

Writing a Conclusion

The conclusion is the last part of your opinion writing. It comes after you have stated your opinion and shared your reasons and examples. Your conclusion is related to your topic and should be connected with the reasons and examples you have written.

Restating Your Opinion to Conclude Your Writing

When you restate your opinion, you are expressing it in a new way. Your conclusion should relate to the rest of your writing. To craft a strong conclusion, you restate your opinion by reviewing:

• your opinion statement;

• your reasons; and

• your examples.

Look at the graphic organizer that was completed in a previous lesson about why Brianna would make a good 5th grade president.
