VIDEO PRESENTATION
When we speak or write, we give
facts and opinions to support our
ideas.

A fact is something true,

something really existing or
happening.

An opinion is a person’s belief

or judgement of something, which
may or may not be based on facts
or evidences.

When we read, we also ask

ourselves whether we are reading
facts or opinions. Writers use both
facts and opinions to support their
claims and decide which opinions are
sound or unsound. Sound opinions
are based on facts while unsound
ones are usually baseless or untrue.

After going through this lesson, you

are expected to distinguish fact and
opinion in a narrative.

B. Development
Pagpapaunla POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
d Facts are statements that can
be verified or proven true. Take
note that facts are not always true.
They can be either be true or they
can be false, but they can be
verified. Once you verify a factual
statement from a reliable source,
you cannot argue about it, it does
not matter how you feel about it.

EXAMPLES:

1. The earth orbits around the

sun.
2. There are 7 days in a week.

Opinions are statements that

cannot be verified because they
talk about how people feel, or what
they believe. An opinion expresses
a belief, an idea, or a feeling. An
opinion is arguable, it cannot be
proven. You can agree or disagree
with it, like it or dislike it since it only
expresses a point of view.

EXAMPLES:
1. Chocolate ice cream is
delicious.
2. Dogs are cuter than cats.

Clue words for opinion

statements include the following:
 I believe
 I feel
 I think
 Maybe
 In my opinion
 Probably
 Possibly

questions that follow.

more, one man, Dr. James Naismith,
invented it. In 1891, Naismith was a
student at the International YMCA
Training School at Springfield. He
was asked by an instructor to invent
indoor game for his fellow students.
At that time, there was no game in
America that could be played by
teams or in the winter months. The
gymnasium used by the students had
a balcony. At opposite ends of this
balcony Naismith hung a peach
basket because he could not find any
suitable boxes, so the game become
known as basketball. He made up
thirteen rules. Although there have
been many changes since, the game
today is still basically the same as it
was then.
To hold a basketball properly,
grip it with your fingers while thumbs
spread out. The ball should not touch
your palms. Catching and passing the
ball are the first things you must
learn. To catch properly, your arms
and hands should be stretched out in
front of your body about waist high.
Passing the ball is the
quickest way to get it up the court. It
means throwing it to an unmarked. It
is a skill that is especially important if
you are not as tall as some of the
