Opinion Writing for a Multi-Grade Classroom: Conclusion

I've been working on a unit for 3rd, 4th, and 5th Graders about Opinion writing based on the Common Core Writing Standards.

  My goal is to create a unit that can be used in a

 Multi-Grade Classroom. 

 Here's an example of one of the activities.

To make it work for a Multi-Grade classroom, there are 3 different paragraphs that are appropriate for different grade levels. 

 The whole class has a mini-lesson about writing a conclusion to an opinion paragraph.   The teacher then divides students into small groups, and that group receives one paragraph based on their reading level.
