Opinion Writing Chart

In this worksheet, students evaluate Fern’s choice to save Wilbur at the beginning of Charlotte’s Web. Learners choose a position-supporting or opposing Fern’s action-and record three reasons to justify that stance. The chart helps students organize ideas before crafting a short opinion paragraph using details from the story. This activity strengthens argumentative thinking and encourages students to make claims supported by evidence. It also develops writing clarity and promotes thoughtful engagement with the ethical dilemmas presented in the book.
