Cities Around the World: Fact or Opinion?

Is Sydney, Australia, really the best place to vacation, or is that an opinion? In this worksheet, students will read a series of statements about cities around the world. By using context clues, learners will decide whether the statement is a fact or an opinion. Then, students are asked to write both a fact and an opinion about a city they’ve lived in or visited.

Designed for a third- and fourth-grade curriculum, this worksheet will build students’ critical thinking skills as they learn to distinguish facts from opinions. Differentiating between facts and opinions is vital for growing learners—not only can it help them make strong arguments in writing, but it can also build critical thinking and media literacy skills.
