Fact Check: Evaluating Objective vs. Subjective Information

Sort out objective and subjective information with this worksheet for seventh and eighth graders! Students will read each of 12 sentences and label the information as objective or subjective, based on whether or not it can be proven. Learners are encouraged to use context clues and apply critical thinking to make their decision.

As learners begin to conduct research, they must be able to identify bias, analyze claims and evidence, evaluate credibility, and recognize the author’s purpose to ensure their sources are fact-based. These skills also help students build media literacy and become more mindful readers of advertisements, news articles, social media posts, and more.
