FACT vs. OPINION

We have talked about facts and opinions. A fact is something that we can prove with text evidence. An opinion is something that either the reader or author feels. We may agree or disagree with an opinion. Read for 20 minutes. Record the title and author of your book. Then, record either 1 fact or 1 opinion from your book. Tell us how you know that the sentence is a fact or an opinion. Happy Reading.

11/7

After your 20 minutes of reading, please record the title and author of your book.  Then, write and tell me either a fact or opinion from your story.  Please tell me how you know the statement is a fact or an opinion.

EAMPLE:

I read Knots in my Yo, Yo String by Jerry Spinelli. 

“Every kid wants to be a bad kid.”  I know that this sentence from the story is the author’s opinion because there is no evidence to support that every kid in the world wants to be a bad kid.
