Getting Ready to Write Reviews

So far in our Opinion Writing unit, we have been judging various collections and giving our opinions and reasons as to which thing we think is "the best" in a collection. Today, we started switching gears and will now be learning how to write a review of something, and giving our opinions for why we think the way we do about something.  The first thing that we will be writing reviews for are games (board or card).  So, to prepare for this writing we needed to refresh our memory, or experience for the first time,  the games we will be reviewing. Of course we had to play them!  This seemed to be a big hit and hopefully will yield some amazing writing next week!!
