Excellent job kids.
Great word hunting. I
am sure that the next

WHAT
IS IT?
How can we
distinguish fact from
opinion?
 FACT is something that is true and
supported by evidence

 An OPINION is only a belief. It is

also an expression of a person’s
feelings. Clue words like think,
believe, feel, probably, or seems
signals an opinion
 Stating facts or having integrity is
better than having a luxurious life. To
remain honest all the time is still the
best asset that an individual could
possess. One should seek first the
facts before jumping to conclusions.
Good luck with your application in your
life on differentiating fact from opinion.
Example:
1.Davao is in Mindanao.
2.Our President is Mr. Rodrigo R.
Duterte.
3.I am in Grade Four now.
4.Earth is the third planet in the
solar system from the sun.
5.Trees produce oxygen.
An opinion is something you believe or feel to
be true and is open to debate.
Example:
1.Dogs are the best.
2.Philippines is a beautiful country.
3.I love durian.
4.School is fun place.
5.The children love watching
dinosours.
WHAT’S

opinion? If the sentence
states truth encircles the
FACT, if it tells idea, encircle
