“Great! That was quick”

B. DISCUSSION
Our lesson for today is distinguishing facts from opinion.

“What comes into your mind when you hear the word facts
and opinion?”
(Let the students answer.)
(Student's answer)
“Okay! Thank you!”

To avoid confusion, I have here an exact definition of what is

facts and opinion.

“What is Facts?”
(Let the students read the definition.) Facts are statements
which can be proven to
be either true or false.
It has its reliability,
validity, and truthfulness.

“Exactly!”
“Okay! Thank you!”

I have here some examples of facts

(Let the students read the examples.)
 King John of
England signed
the Magna
Carta in 1215.
 The capital of
Philippines is
Metro Manila.
 People use
their legs to
walk.

“Okay! Thank you!”

Let’s have another example.

(Let the students answer the question.)  Truthfulness
  True
 Reliability
 Validity
 Fact
 Factual
 News
“Okay! Very good!”

So? Let’s proceed to what opinion is.

“Who has an idea to what is opinion? Anyone?”
(Let the students answer the question.)
(Student’s answer)
“Thank you! That was great!”

“What is an opinion?”
(Let the student read the definition.)
Opinion is the author’s
personal view or biases
about a certain topic. It is
an expression of
judgement or beliefs
about something.
“Okay! Thank you!”

I have here some examples of opinion.

(Let the students read the examples.)

 Today seems
hotter than
yesterday.
 London is the
best city in the
world.
 I prefer using
Facebook than
Twitter.

“Okay! Thank you!”

So? Let’s recall again the word puzzle that we had earlier.
What do you think are the words that are belongs to facts?
(Let the students answer the question.)

 Judgement
 Beliefs
 Biases
 Opinion
 Ideas
 Mindset
“Okay! Very good!”

“So, do I make my topic clear?”

understood my topic.
