It's the Best Part of Me | Step by Step Paragraph Packet | Opinion Writing

Have your students write about what they love most about themselves with our It's the Best Part of Me Paragraph Packet. This resource will guide students through each step of the writing process as they write a well-developed opinion paragraph about their best parts!

This Paragraph Packet pairs perfectly with the book, The Best Part of Me, written by Wendy Ewald in which school-aged children write short poems and stories about what they consider to be “the best part of them.” After reading the book, have students reflect upon their best feature. This will allow them to then start brainstorming and outlining a paragraph! Publishing papers for most body parts are included in this pack, but we have also included a publishing page with no clip art as we always like to take pictures to print in black and white as featured in the book itself.

We have found that this paragraph also makes a perfect Mother’s Day gift, with a conclusion sentence of; “Thank you mom, for my _________.

Our Paragraph Packets are designed to guide primary students through each step of the writing process while implementing a step-by-step method to help them create a well-developed paragraph that includes a topic sentence, 3 detail sentences with further explanation, and a conclusion sentence. Students will also be guided through the revision and editing process and participate in a peer conference for further feedback.

Our Paragraph Packets are perfect for younger students who need more guidance in whole or small group settings, while their structure helps support more independent writers as well.

The format of our Paragraph Packets remains the same for each prompt so that students can continue to grow more independent in their writing through familiarity with the layout. Please download our FREEBIE Prompt, It's Time to Be Kind for a look at how each Paragraph Packet is set up.

Each Paragraph Packet guides students through the writing process by providing templates/organizers for the following the following steps:

❶Brainstorm

❷Outline/Plan
