D. Discussion
In your discussion, students must be
involved, might it be through reading or in
any way.
Just state lines like (the teacher lets the
students read the definition on the board)
A fact is an information that can be
verified or proven and it has evidence that
supports it.
Roms, take note and emphasize that not all
facts are true.
Ex. In one year there are 15 months.
It is a factual statement but not true.
Examples:
To prove that the information is a fact,
you may refer to encyclopedias, almanacs,
maps, dictionaries, or you may ask someone
who is an expert in the field.
An opinion is an information that
cannot be verified or proven. It can be
someone’s belief or personal judgment with
which you can agree or disagree.
Examples:
In addition, there are words that will
help you identify if a statement or information
is an opinion such as:
think good

prefer most

differences between the two, here are their
characteristics that will help you understand

students and whoever I call will come here in debatable
front and roll the dice. The dice has questions
and the roller of the dice will read the
questions aloud in the class and simply
answer the question and give what is being
asked.
Instead of calling the students randomly you
can make it more interactive ang lively. I
suggest you change the manner of calling
through games, like pass the ball (the student who wants to answer will raise a
accompanied by music. hand)
