After the activity, the teacher asks following questions for the students to
analyze what they did in the activity.

The following questions are:

Analysis
1. Upon the activity, how does facts differ from beliefs?
10 MINS
2. Is beliefs can be facts?

3. Why can I say that the following statements are FACTS? or BELIEFS?

When forming personal convictions, we often interpret factual evidence through

the filter of our values, feelings, tastes, and past experiences. Consequently, most
statements we make in speech and writing are assertions of fact from belief The
utility and acceptability of an assertion can be increased or lessened by the nature
of the claim, depending on which of the following categories it fits into:

A fact is verifiable. We can find out if it's true by looking at the evidence. This
may incorporate figures, dates, testimonies, etc. (Ex.: "World War II ended in
1945.")
The veracity of the fact is beyond debate if one may accept that measuring
instruments or records or recollections are true. Facts provide crucial support for
the assertion of an argument. Yet, facts by themselves are meaningless until we
place them in context, draw conclusions, and, thus, give them significance.

Fact Clues
● The research confirms…
● The doctors recently discovered that COVID-19 is airborne…, COVID-19
is ...
Abstraction
● "According to [source]" is usually followed by a fact. But it can also be
followed by an opinion statement. You need to know your source.
20 MINS
● The source of a fact has to be credible. It cannot simply be your mother or
your relatives—unless they are a recognized authority.

A belief is a conviction based on cultural or personal faith, morality, or

values. Statements such as "Capital punishment is legalized murder" are often
called "opinions" because they express viewpoints, but they are not based on
facts or other evidence. They cannot be disproved or even contested in a rational
or logical manner. Since beliefs are inarguable, they cannot serve as the thesis of
a formal argument. (Emotional appeals can, of course, be useful if you happen to
know that your audience shares those beliefs.)

Beliefs Clues
● I think, I believe, I feel, In my opinion, Some people think, My friends think,
My parents think, Some people claim, He/she claims
● Always/Never, Awful/Wonderful, Beautiful/Ugly, Better/Best/Worst,
Delicious/Disgusting, Enjoyable/Horrible/Favorite, For/Against,
Good/Bad,, Inferior/Superior, Oppose/Support, Terrible/Unfair,
Worthwhile

To assess if you have truly understood facts and beliefs, I have prepared an
activity for you to be able to practice what you have learned from the discussion
earlier.
