Yes, you’re correct! Because opinion is
subjective and varies from one person to
another, it can agree upon and disagreed
upon by other people.

Can you give me statements that convey

your opinion?

Yes, John?

What else?

Good job!

Remember, if a sentence does not simply

“claim” something without supporting
evidence and if it can be proven. It is a
FACT.

If a statement claims something based on

the narrator’s personal belief or
preference, it is an OPINION.

To determine whether a statement is a

fact or opinion, ask yourself "Can this
statement be proven?", "Does this
statement express someone's
thoughts/preference or feelings?"

For example: Your heart pumps blood

through your body.

Is it a fact or opinion?

Why do you say so? Can this statement

be proven?

Very good! The statement conveys fact.

Mango float is the best dessert you can

serve at the table for occasions. It is
sweet, creamy, and easy to prepare.
Mango float tastes like ice cream.

Is it a fact or opinion?

Why do you say so? Does it convey

someone’s feelings or preferences?

Excellent! The statement is an opinion.

Well done, class.

 Now, let’s see if you will be able to apply
what you learned by looking at this text.
D. APPLICATION
My mother makes the most delicious
cookies in town. She starts by using the
creamiest butter and our neighbor's
chickens' freshest eggs. They taste
fantastic when they are chilled, but they
are much better when they are still warm.
Is the text a fact or opinion?
Why and how do you say so?
Very well. Let’s have another one.

Through understanding what is fact and
opinion, we can avoid believing in
statements that seem untrue.

 Our lesson can be applied both inside
and outside the school. So, I want to
hear brief answers on how you can
practice what you learned in your
everyday lives.

Alright! Excellent class. I can see that

you have your own reflection on today’s
topic.

E. GENERALIZATION

Do you still have with you the envelope

you found under your desk earlier, class?

Good. To wrap up our lesson, let’s test

your knowledge about our discussion.

What I want you to do is create a
