Introduction
(2 minutes)
- Tell students that today they will be learning how to differentiate between fact and opinion in nonfiction texts.
- Explain that this is an important skill when they are using print or digital resources to conduct research. Remind them that in fifth grade they will need to be able to quickly find facts when they are reading texts about a research topic.
- Write the language objective in student-friendly terms (e.g., "I can recognize and use adjectives to tell the difference between statements of fact and opinion.") and read it aloud. Underline the word adjective and explain to students that they will be learning how authors use adjectives to write about facts and opinions.
