We are writing opinions.  So far we have worked on choosing an opinion that we feel strongly about, that not every person will agree with.  We've read lots of different opinion and persuasive pieces and identified some techniques that the writers use to convince us that their opinion is "right."

Now we are working on writing an opinion piece that has effective organization.  In stories we organize our ideas into the beginning, middle, and end.  In nonfiction we organize our ideas into main ideas with details.  But when we write persuasively, we need to use our OREOs!
