D. ABSTRACT
a. Discussion Every day, we read or hear information from news, social
media, and even our classmates. But how do we know what
is true and what is just someone’s personal thoughts?

What is fact?
A fact is true and can be proven.

Example:
1. The Philippines is in Southeast Asia.
2. There are 12 months in a year.

Tip: If you can prove it, it’s a fact.

What is an Opinion?
An opinion is what someone thinks or feels. It is not always
true for everyone.

Example:
1. I think English is fun.
2. Chocolate is the best flavor.

Tip: It sometimes starts with “I think,” “I believe,” or

“should,” it’s an opinion.

One member from the team will pick a paper with FACT
and OPINION written on it.

points.

Reflection Question:
“ What would you feel if someone shared an opinion that

think clearly and avoid being misled.”
