The document discusses the differences between facts and opinions. It provides definitions of facts as statements that are true and can be proven, while opinions are beliefs, views or judgments that are subjective. Examples are given of facts and how they can be changed into opinions by adding subjective elements. Bias is discussed as a preconceived belief not based on evidence that can influence how facts and opinions are perceived. The document stresses the importance of separating facts from opinions objectively without personal biases.
Denotation is when you mean what you say, literally. Connotation is created when you mean something else, something that might be initially hidden. The connotative meaning of a word is based on implication, or shared emotional association with a word.

Emotions and Biases
Myth: emotions are the opposite of reason. This is a popular belief, but nowadays most people acknowledge that emotions are an inescapable part of being human and often a reliable guide to what is right and true, helping us form our values and discover our passions.
Here are a few examples of times when emotions lead to critical thinking:
The anger Bryce feels over the injustice of a decrease in community funding for programs to help the homeless prompts Bryce to research this issue and get involved.
The excitement Ta’kiya feels about a future career as a nurse gives her the motivation to learn about how she can go back to school and get registered.
Krista has a gut feeling that there’s something wrong with her relationship with her fiancé. She analyzes this feeling and realizes that the differences between her fiancé’s temperament and values and her own are too much, and she decides to call off the wedding.
Emotions can (and probably should) play a role in big life decisions like getting married, quitting a job, or getting a tattoo, but critical thinking should also be a component.
So when do emotions become barriers to critical thinking? Strong emotions like stress, anger, depression, or passion can cloud our thinking and lead us to say, do, or believe things we otherwise wouldn’t. We are more likely to act rashly, misjudge the situation, rationalize illogical actions, and fail to see options when we’re under emotional duress. The key is to recognize when you are in such a state and to avoid making decisions at these times.
Emotions can also affect how we respond to arguments.
Travis is at his cousin’s wedding, and while he’s waiting in line at the buffet, another guest named Nathaniel suddenly starts a conversation with him. Somehow the topic of affirmative action comes up, and Nathaniel voices his opinions forcefully. This is a subject that Travis feels passionately about, and he finds that he disagrees strongly with Nathaniel. Whenever Travis tries to bring up a counter-point, Nathaniel interrupts him to call him “naïve” and his viewpoints “ignorant.” Nathaniel is quick to rattle off statistics that support his point, while Travis cannot always think of a counter-point on the spot. The conversation ends with Nathaniel picking up his plate of shrimp scampi with smug assurance of his complete correctness on the subject, while Travis feels that he looked foolish.
Even though Travis knows he’ll never see Nathaniel again, he finds himself continually irritated whenever his thoughts drift back to that conversation. Driving home later that night, he finds himself coming up with things he could have and should have said to Nathaniel but didn’t. Afterward, whenever Travis reads or watches anything that has to do with affirmative action, he gets angrier than usual thinking about it, and he starts subconsciously attributing the rude behaviors he associates with Nathaniel to anyone else who opposes his viewpoint.

This presentation explores the concept of certainty and the limitations of our perception. It discusses how our minds are wired to make quick judgments, sometimes leading to overconfidence and certainty. It draws examples from neuroscience, psychology, and physics to challenge the idea of absolute certainty and advocates for humility and a "seek to understand" mindset when dealing with differing opinions. Ultimately, it suggests that changing someone's mind is about creating the conditions for them to change it themselves.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. FACT
According to Webster's Dictionary a fact is
"anything that is done or happens; anything
actually existent; any statement strictly true;
truth; reality."
M.N.SPIES
3. EXAMPLES OF FACTS
Three examples of facts that are concrete and that
could be documented include:
1.The house was painted on November 18, 1999.
2.Today is Saturday.
3.My son had a temperature of one hundred and
two degrees this morning.
M.N.SPIES
4. OPINION
• Whereas an opinion is defined as "indicating
a belief, view, sentiment, conception.“
• Obvious indicators of opinion are when
sentences include words such as:
• "Generally, it is thought" , "I believe that", "It
is a sad day when."
M.N.SPIES
5. FACTS CAN BE CHANGED INTO
OPINIONS
For example, how the three facts above can be changed
to opinions would be to add a belief or view.
For example:
1. The house was painted recently on November 18,
1999, so it looks as good as new.
2. Today is Saturday and Mark always sleeps in on
Saturdays, so that is why he is late for the game.
3. There was no way for me to go to school because my
son had a temperature of one hundred and two
degrees this morning.
M.N.SPIES
11. M.N.SPIES
Sometimes it is challenging to tell
the facts and opinions apart. For
example, is the following a fact
or an opinion?"Abraham Lincoln
was the most eloquent writer of
all the U.S. Presidents."
12. M.N.SPIES
This is an opinion, but you have
to know that eloquent is a
descriptive word for this to
become clear. Descriptive
words are subjective, or state
someone's opinion.
13. Subjectivity and Objectivity
Subjectivity: Is personal and biased. It is a one-
sided point of view.
(I think she has passed with flying colours).
Objectivity: Is fair and unbiased. It takes all sides
into account and is not influenced by personal
feelings.
(Based on her marks, she has passed with flying
colours).
M.N.SPIES
15. BIAS
It can become unclear how to
separate fact and opinion when
many people hold the same
opinion. This is when it becomes
important to understand what the
word bias means.
M.N.SPIES
16. BIAS
It is a personal, pre-conceived belief not
based on evidence or fact. It is literally
pre-judging – making up your mind
about something or someone before
you know the relevant facts. It often
results from ignorance or
generalisations.
M.N.SPIES
21. BIAS
A bias is an opinion or an attitude we have for or
against something. A bias usually stems from
our feelings rather than from rational thought.
What is very important to realize is that ALL of
us are biased. We are biased for or against
certain people, activities, and ideas. We become
biased because certain people, activities, or
ideas do not appeal to us at some level. Of equal
importance to realize is that we have "good
biases" as well, that is we favour certain people,
activities, or ideas. In these cases, our biases are
still irrational, just like our negative ones.
M.N.SPIES
22. Most of the time we keep our
biases inside and use them to
decide who to vote for, what to
study in school, and how we
want to appear in public.
M.N.SPIES
23. Many of our biases are not based on fact
or reasoned judgement but on opinions
handed down to us by parents,
teachers, and friends. Unfortunately, we
don't always take the time to examine
the source of our biases, and many of us
carry unhealthy opinions and prejudices
because of it.
M.N.SPIES
24. Other times, however, people can let
their bias or opinions guide them to
do dangerous acts. Issues such as
racism, gun control, abortion, and
patriotism provoke many people to
act on their biases and do things
that harm others.
M.N.SPIES
25. As long as biases are peacefully
shared, there is little harm. But,
when they are uncontrolled, strong
biases can bring out anger and
create hatred toward those who
disagree. That is when facts and
opinions become very challenging
to separate
M.N.SPIES
26. Time for a movie!!!
Now let us see if we
can differentiate
between fact and
opinion:
M.N.SPIES
27. Fact or Opinion?
Most penguins live in
Antarctica and parts of
nearby
countries.
