think OREO!

Opinion:Tell your readers HOW you feel about


something.

of why you feel that way.

way you do.

Think about a topic of your interest and write a short opinion essay about it using
the OREO strategy. Use the language provided in the sentence starters chart.

Topic: _________________________________________________________________
Zoos

Opinion. Give your opinion:


In my opinion, I think that the family attraction, a zoo, must be
ilegal

Reason. Your reason(s) for your opinion:


Firstly the animals are not in their habitats which means that they
are not in the conditions and place were they are accustomed or
the things and other animals that are there.

And also then, they are closed in a space where they can't
answer to their instincts like go to hunt, relate with others or just
move throught the terrain to do what ever they want.

Example. Give an example(s) to support your opinion(s):


For example the depredators like lions, they give them fresh meat, but it's not the
same that he hunt his meet in his own so we are changint their instincs and needs.

Another example are the giraffes, they have the instinct to live and rest their life in
groups, but in the zoo, how they are so big, they only have three or four giraffes in a
space that for us it's big, but for them it's small.

In case of a zoo, I would make a digital zoo leveraging the new technologies make
screens where you could see the animals in their habitat, some vr glasses and
manual things like a fair that simulate how feels the animal skin, etc.

Opinion. Restate your opinion(s):


To summary I would eliminate all the zoos because they don't
aport nothing good to them, only for us, and I would make them
digital.
