An opinion is what you think about something. It tells how you feel, not just facts. You can share your opinion about a book or a game.
Mia picks her favorite book to write about. She says, My favorite book is Dog Man. It makes me laugh a lot. She named the book, gave her opinion, and told why.
Always use the word because to explain why. Say what you are talking about first. Then tell your opinion and your reason.
Name it, say what you think, then tell why with because.

Tell What You Think About a Book
You can write about a book you read. This is called a journal response. It means you tell what the book is about and what you think about it.
Start by naming the book. Say what happens in it. You can write one or two short sentences about the story.
Then say what you think. Do you like the book? Pick one idea. You might write, "I like this book." Or you might write, "This book is not my favourite."
Now give a reason. Tell why you feel that way. You might write, "I like it because the dog is funny." A reason helps your friends understand your idea.
You can draw a picture too. You can tell a grown-up your ideas and they can write them down for you.
