Reading Street Comprehension Skills: Fact and Opinion Grades 4 and 5

copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com Fact and Opinion Student Expectations Students explain the difference between statements of fact and opinion. Students identify statements of fact and cite methods for checking. Students identify statements of opinion, pointing out any clue words. Students separate statements of fact and opinion found in one sentence. copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com

copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com Fact and Opinion What clue word or words signal that this is a statement of opinion? How does the author support this statement of opinion? This seems to be a statement of opinion. Why is it really a statement of fact? (Alternately: This seems to be a statement of fact. Why is it really a statement of opinion?) Why might a reader say this is a faulty opinion? copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com

copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com Fact and Opinion A statement of fact tells something that can be proved true or false. Even if it is false, it is still a statement of fact- stated as a fact, but incorrect. These statements can be checked by reading, observing, or asking an expert. A statement of opinion tells a person’s ideas or feelings. It cannot proved true or false. It should involve thoughtful judgment. Sometimes statements of opinion begin with clue words such as in my opinion or I believe. Some sentences contain both facts and opinions. copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com

copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com Fact and Opinion Look for clue words to identify statements of opinion: think, believe, feel, best, probably. copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com
