Opinion Writing Planning Frame

About this printable

This printable organises an opinion paragraph or short essay into clear steps: 1) My opinion, 2) Reasons (three boxes), 3) Evidence & examples for each reason, 4) Conclusion, 5) Words to influence, and 6) a checklist and linking-words bank. It’s designed as a student-facing planning template to support structure, vocabulary choice and self-editing during opinion-writing lessons. The visual layout uses icons, arrows and separate boxes to guide thinking and make each part of the argument explicit.
