Description

If you’re looking for ready-to-use opinion writing paired passages, this set on electric cars is an engaging way to get students excited about essay writing. Students will read two high-interest opinion articles on the pros and cons of electric cars, then use the opinion writing prompt using articles to plan and write a four- or five-paragraph essay. These opinion writing articles make it easy to integrate reading and writing skills in one meaningful activity.
 
This resource is perfect for writing, test prep, or ELA centers. The opinion writing paired passages format helps students learn to integrate information from both sources while supporting their opinion with strong evidence. The topic of electric cars will spark interest while encouraging critical thinking.
 
 
This Opinion Writing Paired Passages Resource Includes:
  • Text Source #1
  • Text Source #2
  • Writing Prompt: Should Electric Cars be Required?
  • Planning Sheets
  • Writing Paper
This opinion writing paired passages set is aligned with CCSS for opinion writing and reading comprehension, and modeled after state testing formats, so students get authentic practice with opinion writing prompts using articles.

Why Teachers Love It:
This resource saves planning time while still challenging students. The opinion writing prompts using articles give them real-world topics to write about, and the paired texts are written to be both accessible and engaging.
 
I am the author of both opinion articles, but I’ve included different author names to help students practice citing multiple sources.
 
*This was designed to be perfect practice for state writing tests! Directly aligned with Florida’s FSA format, but probably similar to your state, too!
