Opinion/Proof Notes This strategy helps students learn to develop an opinion, and support it through evidence from a text. The students read an assigned chapter or book. The students develop an opinion about a character from the text. The opinion is written down in the left-hand column. The students write supporting evidence for their opinion in the right-hand column. The evidence must be derived from the text along with the page number for reference. The students share their opinion/proof notes with the class. Extension: The students may use their opinion/proof notes to develop a persuasive paper. Reference Santa, C. (1993).
