Defining the Writing Process
Goal: To define at each grade level, examples of what students should be doing at each stage of the writing process.

Role of Opinion / Argument
“While all three text types are important, the Standards put a particular emphasis on
students’ ability to write sound arguments on substantive topics and issues, as this ability is critical to college and career readiness.”
(National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, Council of Chief State School Officers 2010b, 24)
![Page 13: Monterey writing training](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102902/559065af1a28ab8e638b45fd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Opinion / Argument
– Only about 20% of students are prepared to write academic arguments when they enter college.
– Argument forces us to consider two or more perspectives and to evaluate strengths and weakness—a habit of mind that is necessary in many college classes.
– Argument moves beyond surface knowledge to critical thinking and analysis.
– Argumentative thinking is the basis of research.

Foundations of Opinion Writing
Before students can write sound arguments on substantive topics and issues, we must teach them to• Identify and Introduce topics• State opinions• Support opinions with reasons• Use linking words• Provide a concluding
statement

(National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, Council of Chief State School Officers 2010b, 23)
