1 Chapter Eight: Distinguishing Between Fact and Opinion
2 Your Job... Take notes on how to tell the difference between FACT and OPINION
3 Activating Prior Knowledge Break into groups of three. Brainstorm on what makes a statement a fact, and what makes a statement an opinion. Determine if the headlines on the next slide are facts or opinions.
4 Activating Prior Knowledge 1. Man arrested in alleged Fed terror plot 2. Multivitamins may block cancer in men 3. Microsoft will lose a war with Apple; so will Google 4. Power naps boost creativity 5. Picking on the wealthy ignores real problems 6. Mother who glued toddler's hands to wall should have gotten shorter sentence 7. Romney clearly won the debate again
5 Facts Are objective. Objective means not influenced by personal judgments or feelings. Exist externally. They are physical, observable things independent of you. They live outside of you. Can be verified -- proven to true or false.
6 Opinions Are subjective. Subjective means influenced by personal feelings or tastes. Exist internally. They exist inside you (me, anyone) and depend on the person holding the opinion. Cannot be verified.
7 The defendant claims... The author argues that... My point of view is... Police suspect... Many believe... Stem Statements That Introduce Opinions
8 REMEMBER FACT = object, as in objective. OPINION = subject, as in subjective.
9 Double-Checking Yourself 1. Now that you have formal definitions of fact and opinion, revisit the headlines. 2. Do you need to change any of your answers?
10 Double-Checking Yourself 1. Man arrested in alleged Fed terror plot 2. Multivitamins may block cancer in men 3. Microsoft will lose a war with Apple; so will Google 4. Power naps boost creativity 5. Picking on the wealthy ignores real problems 6. Mother who glued toddler's hands to wall should have gotten shorter sentence 7. Romney clearly won the debate again
11 Writing Statements of Fact & Opinion Choose a partner Create one statement of fact and one statement of opinion for each of the following topics: Food Children Money
12 FACTORS THAT AFFECT FACT AND OPINION
13 Factors That Affect Fact and Opinion Adjectives Connotation and Denotation Qualifiers Superlative and Comparative Values
14 Words That Can Express Opinions Adjectives Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Big Rich Ugly Sometimes adjectives express an opinion. The movie was horrible. Sometimes adjectives express facts. Large objects fall faster than small objects. When you see adjectives, think carefully about whether they point to fact or opinion.
15 Using Adjectives 1. Find a partner. 2. Write two statement of opinion that contains adjectives.
16 Words That Can Express Opinions Qualifiers A qualifier is a word or phrase that limits the statement. Qualifiers include May Might Sometimes A few Frequently
17 Words That Can Express Opinions The Role of Qualifiers Qualifiers limit a statement, often making it more likely that the statement is true. He is usually late. It typically rains in March.
18 Words That Can Express Opinions Absolute Qualifiers Words that indicate a statement is always true, 100% of the time. Absolute qualifiers are often exaggerations. She s always late. He never helps others. Statements using absolute qualifiers are often not true.
19 Using Qualifiers Choose a new partner. Quickly write a statement of fact that includes qualifiers. Quickly write an incorrect statement of fact that includes absolute qualifiers.
20 Process Words That Can Express Opinions Comparatives Typically used to compare two items. End in er, or have more before a word. Examples Better Weaker Stronger More beautiful More helpful
21 Words That Can Express Opinions Superlatives Compares one thing to all the other things of the same kind end with est or have most before a word, as in most intelligent. Examples Best Strongest Weakest Most beautiful
22 Words That Can Express Opinions Evaluating Superlatives and Comparatives Sometimes superlatives and comparatives are opinions. My Dad is better than your Dad. Other times they are facts (or are just plain wrong). My Dad is stronger than your Dad. Always ask: Can I verify this statement?
23 Using Superlatives and Comparatives Quickly choose a new partner. Write a statement that uses a superlative. Is the statement a fact or an opinion? Write a statement that uses a comparative. Is the statement a fact or an opinion?
24 Sources of Information Information can come from many sources. Some sources are more trustworthy than others. There are three types of sources: Experts People with Informed Opinions People on the Street
25 Sources: Experts Have extensive knowledge on a specific subject. May not have knowledge on other subjects. It s like Dancing with the Stars a famous football player or expert TV chef might not be so great with the tango.
26 Sources: Informed Opinion People who are informed get their information directly from experts, from the media, and/or from personal experience. Usually not as trustworthy as an expert.
27 Sources: Person on the Street Everyday people lacking extensive knowledge Might not know anything, but eager to voice an opinion anyway.
28 Working with Sources of Information Quickly choose a new partner. The next three slides contain a subject and three people. Determine which person is an expert, which is informed, and which is a man on the street.
29 Working with Sources of Information SUBJECT: Common causes of house fires SOURCES: Woman working in bookstore Fire Marshall Person who lost house to fire
30 Working with Sources of Information SUBJECT: Computer viruses SOURCES: Chief Security Officer for Microsoft Computer repairman Your aunt, who is great with her PC
31 Working with Sources of Information SUBJECT: Underwater basket-weaving SOURCES: Professional basket-weaver Woman who scuba-dived on vacation Man who has a collection of hundreds of baskets
32 Tips for Better Reading DO listen to what the author is saying to you. They are sharing their values and beliefs, which may be different than yours. DO NOT insert your thoughts over the author s. It is OK to process what the author is saying through your filter. It is not OK to change what the author is saying to fit what you want or think.
33 Stay Objective!! The author did not take your values or beliefs into consideration when they were writing. It s nothing personal. Your thoughts about a reading are secondary to your comprehension of what you read.
34 Every man has a right to his opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts. - Bernard Baruch
