Common misconception
Students may be more accustomed to writing informative articles. In Learning Cycle 2, they may want to explain how love has changed over time rather than give their opinion on it.
Students can create a more engaging article, which is more vibrant with a clear sense of voice, by including their opinion on a topic.
