Part 1

Directions:

You have written the first two paragraphs of an essay explaining your opinion on the question: Which factor(s) was most important to Jackie Robinson’s success in leading social change? Now you are going to complete that essay. Be sure to use details from the notes you took in class to support your opinion with reasons and evidence. (RI.5.9, W.5.2, W.5.4, W.5.9b, W.5.10)

1. Reread the two paragraphs you have written so far.
2. Complete your essay by adding a paragraph to explain and support the second reason for your opinion and a conclusion. When you have finished, your piece should be a full essay that is several paragraphs long.

■	 Introduces and clearly states an opinion. 
■	 Provides logically ordered reasons that are supported by facts and details. 
■	 Links your opinion and reasons using words and phrases. 
■	 Provides a conclusion that restates and reflects on the opinion presented. 
■	 Follows the rules of writing (spelling, punctuation, and grammar).

Begin writing to complete your opinion essay. Manage your time carefully so you can:
1. Reread what you have already written. 
2. Use the notes on your graphic organizer to draft a paragraph stating and supporting the second reason for your opinion. 
3. Write a conclusion. 
4. Use the Opinion Writing Checklist to revise and edit your writing.
