READING
Introduction
Hi Readers! When we are reading nonfiction or informational texts, we sometimes notice that the author feels a certain way about a topic. They have a specific belief, or opinion, on the topic that they are writing about.
Today, we will be looking at the author's perspectives and how they can be "for" or "against" a topic.

2. What opinion does your author have on this topic?
