Writing Creating Your Response
Once you’ve decided which reasons you are going to use (and in what order), you can begin writing.
Beginning 🟪 You need to state your opinion very near the beginning. You might begin with a few thoughts about the topic, and then clearly state your opinion.
Middle 🟪 Your reasons belong in the middle of your response. If you have two reasons, you will have two middle paragraphs. If you have three reasons, you will have three middle paragraphs. Follow your list as you write, but be ready to add details if you think of some good ones.
Ending 🟪 The last part of your response should bring everything together. You can remind your readers what your opinion is and encourage them to agree with you. You can also tell them what they can do to help.
