Opinion Essay Planner

Plan a full opinion essay: a clear claim, reasons backed by facts, and a conclusion that restates your opinion.

  1. 1.
    Introduction: name your topic and state your opinion clearly.
  2. 2.
    Reason 1, plus the facts or details that support it.
  3. 3.
    Reason 2, plus the facts or details that support it.
  4. 4.
    Strongest reason last: which reason will you save for the end, and why is it the most convincing?
  5. 5.
    Conclusion: restate your opinion in a fresh way.

Check your plan

  • My introduction states my opinion clearly
  • Each reason is supported by facts or details
