Facts and Opinions
Read the following articles. While reading, create a T-Chart cataloging facts on one side and opinions on the other. Make sure to draw lines horizontally so that I can differentiate between articles.
"School Bans Girl Who Shaved Head To Support Friend"
"About Neuroblastoma"
"Caring Crowns Pageant"
How does opinion affect the facts given in an article? Do opinions offer more shocking information? Do they pull on specific emotions? If so, how does this affect the reader's opinion?
