Lesson Stating
1 a Fact or an Opinion
(Advertisements)
Stating a fact or an opinion in an advertisement is an important
ability. By knowing a fact, we can come up with wise choices. A fact will
help us know our needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, among
others.
By knowing an opinion, also, we can make judgment on a product
being promoted. It will help us decide which one is better than the other.
What I Know
Directions: Let us try to group them into blue (fact) and red (opinion).
Rewrite each statement in the columns provided.
