Assessment: Once students finish searching for facts and opinions, they share their findings.
Create a master list of these findings, correcting any errors in judgment, as the students share their lists. The importance of mini lessons in facts and opinions is to enable students to read critically. Task: Students can work in pairs or alone. They read the various texts, creating a list of facts and opinions.
Discussion should include asking the students to consider why certain facts and opinions are listed in the various texts. What was the author hoping to convey to the reader? Assessment: Each student or pair of students should be able to defend their choices, thereby showing they understand what the differences of facts and opinions are. Can facts be used to give an opinion of something? When do people do this? Statements or premises can be opinions but until they are proven true they cannot be facts.
