Fact

or
Opinion
Objective
● Distinguish between a
fact and an opinion.
Essential Question

Is having an opinion a
bad thing?
Before we play the
Yes or No game, let us
review FACT and OPINION
first.
When an information is
presented as a FACT - it is
verifiable and objective ,
Based on statistics, data,
observations
It could be right, wrong or
misleading. It’s up to you
to verify the evidence.
When an information is
presented as an OPINION
- you cannot verify it.
An opinion may be based
on facts but it’s subjective.
It’s based on feelings,
emotions or judgements.
 YES OR NO
● The teacher will flash a statement on the
screen, raise your YES sign if the
statement is true and NO if the
statement is not true.
