An Opinion With a Reason
Your opinion matters more when you can say why — that is how you help others understand you.
The move
An opinion tells what you think. A strong opinion gives a reason using the word "because" to explain your thinking.
Write it
Pick something you think would make your class, home, or neighborhood better. Write your opinion and give at least one reason using "because."
