WHY THIS LESSON?

This is one of those reading skills that constitute a ‘red light’ or ‘green light’ for a student’s academic path into the high school years.

Standardized reading tests routinely include questions asking students to differentiate between FACT and OPINION in passages upon which they are tested.

Even good students get confused. Conscientious students often wonder if they can call something a fact IF they are not personally aware of its accuracy.

Fact and Opinion is one skill that students can and need to learn and master.

The key to making it easy for them is showing them that facts are statements that can beCHECKED OUT & VALIDATED as true or false. It is an important strategy going forward in a student’s academic career.

It is a skill that a student should have strong mastery by the end of the 6th grade.

This lesson contains clear explanations and numerous examples, as well as a 20-question quiz and answer key.
