    This document provides guidance for writing opinion paragraphs and includes a peer review checklist. It instructs students to work in pairs to edit each other's writing using the checklist, which evaluates content, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, and grammar. The checklist ensures paragraphs have a clear topic sentence and conclusion, supporting details, logical flow, and correct grammar. The document also provides two additional writing prompts for students to practice - whether cell phones should be allowed in classrooms and a preference for team or individual sports, including suggested questions to consider.
