Fact Versus Opinion

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Young scholars differentiate between fact and opinion. They define fact and opinion, then listen to and identify examples of each. Students identify different books where facts and opinions can be found, and cut out newspaper and magazine advertisements and separate them into fact and opinion.
