    Kia ora. Well done on starting your research last week.  By now, you should have a pretty good idea of the location of your opinion piece.  If you are still researching and trying to identify a location, you will have to very carefully plan your time to ensure you meet the deadline.  Once you have your research, you will need to identify the three aspects of your location you will use to strcuture the three paragraphs of your writing.  You DO NOT have to cover everything you have researched.  Choose the three aspects you know you can write about with authority.  Remember to write using a TEXAS writing framework and to use the language of opinion/persuasion.  Refer back to the exemplars provided in previous weeks for support (this includes your annotated TEXAS exemplar)
