FACT OR
OPINION?
1
Read the paragraph below
about a popular snack. As you
read, take note of statements
that can be true as stated in
the paragraph. Also, take note
of statements that tell what
someone thinks or feels.
Popcorn is the best snack to eat at fairs,
movies, and ball games. I believe that popcorn is
the most healthful treat. Popcorn is actually good
for you, if you leave out the butter or salt. People
have been popping popcorn for thousands of years.
The native people in what is now Mexico were the
first to grow popcorn plants. The popcorn kernels
were too hard to eat. One native tossed a handful
of the hard kernels into the fire. Pop! America’s
most tasty treat was born.

Fact or Opinion
Jenny Capps
A FACT is a fact, now let’s take a look
Pull it up your computer, or open up your book!
It’s something that is proven, something we all know
Like, “A dog has four legs.” Or “How does a garden
grow?”
You may need to do some research, or you just might
use
You eye. Either way you’ll find the answer, because
FACTS
Will never lie
If you can look upon to see it, then you know it
must be true.
“The shirt she has on is green.” and “The sky a
shade of blue.”
It’s really very easy to know what a FACTS
about.
Just look, read about, or Google it, then it’s a
FACT no
doubt!
Now OPINIONS are a little sneakier, it’s what you
think
or feel. Like green is a “pretty” color, and pizza’s my
“favorite” meal.
Or “I think” that dress is pretty, and football is the
“greatest”
sport. But others “think” it’s basketball…because it’s
played
on a court.
“I believe” is another clue, that an OPINION is what it
might
be. Some “believe” that Christmas is best… but
Thanksgivings the best for me!
So when you have a feeling, and you think it must be
true.
Remember… that’s actually not a fact… it’s only an
OPINION for you!
WHAT IS A FACT?
A fact is a statement that is true. It can be
proven through observation,
experimentation, and research.
Examples of a FACT:
Snakes are reptiles
The earth is round
2
COVID-19 is a new virus which has
spread quickly to many
countries around the world.
Dry cough, fever and tiredness are the most common symptoms of
COVID – 19.
- Based on the triage of the spread of COVID – 19 virus, dry cough, fever
and tiredness are the most common symptoms, although other may have
it without showing symptoms.
Dry cough, fever and tiredness are the
most common symptoms of
COVID – 19.
WHAT IS AN OPINION?
An opinion is something that you believe to
be true but might not be. This can be an
attitude or judgment that cannot be proven
true or false.
-is a statement of one‘s belief or
point of view.
Examples of OPINIONS:
The dog is cute
The class is fun
3
EXAMPLE
COVID – 19 affect only old people.
EXAMPLE
People infected with COVID -19 will
get very sick and die.
Opinion
There are three kinds of opinions:
Judgment:The Filipino is likethe bamboo
tree.
Prediction:Tomorrow will be only another
day—no winter of discontent.
A statement on what should or should not
be done: He does not allow the world to be
too much with him.

Distinguishing Between Fact
and Opinion
Remember: Facts can be proven. Opinions
cannot be proven.
❖ To find out if a statement is a fact, ask
yourself, “Can this statement be
proven?”
❖ To find out if a statement is an opinion,
ask yourself, “Does this statement tell
what someone thinks or feels?
Separating Fact from Opinion
FACT OPINION
-OBJECTIVE -SUBJECTIVE
-STATES REALITY -INTERPRETS
REALITY
-CAN BE VERIFIED - CAN’T BE
VERIFIED
FACT OR OPINION?
The girl has beautiful hair.
FACT OPINION
4
THE ANSWER IS
OPINION 
This is an opinion because it is what YOU personallythink.
Just because you think the girl has beautiful hair does not
mean that she actually has beautiful hair. We cannot prove
this to be true or false.
7
FACT OR OPINION?
George Washington was the first president inthe
United States of America
FACT OPINION
8
THIS IS A FACT 
This is a fact because we can prove it to be true or false. If
we were to look back into history it will tell us that George
Washington really was the first president.
11
How can you differentiate a fact from
opinion?
Why is it important to know how to
distinguish fact from opinion based on
what he/she just heard?
It is important because it will help you interpret
information intelligently.
Activity 2: Be a Detective
Is it a fact or an opinion? Solve
each case below by reading the
paragraph and
identify each as “Fact” or
“Opinion”
Case # 1:
Baking cookies takes less than an hour. First,
you need to add 2 cups flour, ½ cup
sugar, 2 cups chocolate chips, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt
and 1 teaspoon vanilla to a mixing bowl. Next you stir
the ingredients together until they are completely
combined. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put a spoonful of cookie batter an inch apart onto a
greased cookie sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes or
until the cookies are light brown at the edges.

Case # 2:
My mom’s cookies are the best in town! First,
she uses the creamiest butter, and she
gets the freshest eggs from our neighbor’s
chickens. The milk she buys to drink while
eating the cookies make the cookies even better
because the milk come from a local
dairy farm. They’re good when they’re cooled
down, but even better when they’re still
warm.
FACT or OPINION
How can you say that it is a fact or an opinion?
