In Mrs. Burdiek's first grade class, students wrote opinion stories about either their favorite colors or favorite restaurants. Albee and Marissa explained their struggles with writing their own opinion stories.

Albee said, "I needed help with my spelling." He wrote about his favorite food at Sonic. "I like slushies," he commented.

Marissa also wrote about Sonic, "because the food taste good! I didn't need help writing my sentences, I just kept forgetting to put 'the' in my sentences."

Mrs. Burdiek commented, "The kids did a supper job going from writing non-fiction chapter stories last semester to writing opinion stories this semester."
