Third grade students at Fernandina Beach Christian Academy have been working through the process of opinion writing.
Under the guidance of teachers Jan Roberts, Kaitlin Steen, and Kaysley Thorton, three classrooms collaborated on this exciting opinion project.
“They began this process by choosing a topic they wished to express their opinion about. They spent time brainstorming different reasons that they could express to defend their opinion,” said Roberts. “This step was followed by organizing their thoughts into paragraphs while giving reasons and examples for each. The students put this into a rough draft paragraph, then edited this paragraph before writing their final copy.”
The three third grade classes are spending a morning at the News-Leader today to learn from regional publisher Foy Maloy why an opinion is important, specifically in journalism.
“They learned so much about the opinion writing process,” said Roberts.

An outstanding pet would be a cat. Cats are always a good pet for company if you are lonely. Cats usually do alot for theirselves. Cats groom themselves and you don’t have to give them bath’s often. This is why cats are outstanding pets.
