That Is Not My Opinion!

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Being an informed citizen requires distinguishing fact from opinion and understanding persuasion methods. Secondary learners evaluate newspaper editorials. They read opinion pieces, identify the writer's purpose and position on an issue, evaluate the validity of the writer's arguments, and discuss if they agree or disagree and why. An activity to promote readiness for career, college, and self-determination.
