    Down with Cats!


    Cat makes terrible pets!
    First of all, as everyone knows, cats are hunters. They are related to
    lions and tigers. Today’s house cats hunt mice, birds, and lizards just the way
    big cats hunt bigger animals.
    Some people think this is good quality. But I definitely do not. I feel
    sorry for the mice that my brother’s cat tries to catch. Of course, my
    brother’s cat has never yet caught a single mouse. But some day I believe he
    might.
    Finally, dogs are much nicer than cats. That is not my opinion. It’s a fact!
    At the end of the lesson, the you are able to:
    ·Identify the difference between facts and opinions.
    ·Analyze information to determine if it is a fact or an
    opinion; and
    ·Evaluate statements and determine if they are facts
    or opinions.
    Make a Stand

    In making a stand, one important skill is listening for


    facts and opinions. Sometimes, we may consider some
    facts we hear as opinions. Some opinions we hear may
    sound interestingly like facts. How can we tell which is
    which?
    A FACT is a statement that can be verified or proven
    true by objective means. We use records,
    experimentation, or observation to verify the
    statement.
    An OPINION is a statement that cannot be verified by
    objective means. It can express a person’s feelings
    about an idea or situation. It can also express a
    judgment or a prediction based on facts. However, an
    opinion is valid only if facts are stated to support it.
    Determine if the statement is a FACT or OPINION.
    Give a thumbs up if it is fact and thumbs down if it is
    opinion.
