2. Worked Example
A fact is a proven piece of information. It is a statement that can be verified in a reference source such as an encyclopedia, a dictionary, a map, or a history book. Facts are things that happened in the past or are happening now. It can be supported by evidence.

13. A fact is a proven piece of information. It is a statement that can be verified in a reference source such as an encyclopedia, a dictionary, a map, or a history book. Facts are things that happened in the past or are happening now. It can be supported by evidence.

14. Examples: ● The Philippines is an archipelago composed of over 7,600 islands. (This is a verifiable statement about the country's geography.)

15. Examples: ● Sinigang, a sour soup dish, is a national favorite in the Philippines, with various regional variations. (This is a confirmed fact about Filipino cuisine.)

16. Examples: ● The Philippines is the world's largest producer of abaca, a natural fiber used in textiles. (This can be verified through agricultural production statistics.)

17. An opinion is a belief, judgment, or a way of thinking about something. Statements that express that something is good or bad in some ways are usually opinions.

18. Examples: ● Adobo is the best Filipino dish. (This expresses a personal preference for a particular dish.)

19. Examples: ● Wearing shorts to school is disrespectful. (This reflects a belief about appropriate school attire, which can vary depending on the school's policies.)

20. Examples: ● Studying abroad is the only way to get a good job. (This expresses a personal viewpoint on career opportunities, which may not be universally true.)

21. Ways to Recognize the Differences 1.Words that show extreme positives or negatives are clues to opinions. everyone, never, most, always, nobody, ever, all, really, none, very

22. Ways to Recognize the Differences 2.Descriptive words are subjective. Sentences with descriptive words are mostly opinions. beautiful, ugly, smart, foolish, joyful, lucky, gloomy

23. Ways to Recognize the Differences 3. Language intended to appeal emotions is opinionated. Read this example of an emotional appeal: Have you ever driven down a road and seen all the garbage alongside the road? People should wake up and realize how much this harms the environment.The unsightly mess contains toxic substance that damage the earth and kill wildfire.

24. Tools for Verification Here's where evidence comes in. It's the information used to support a claim, either factual or opinion-based. But not all evidence is created equal. These are the common types:

25. 1. SELF-EVIDENCE Self-evidence is plausibly taken to be a status that marks propositions as capable of being justifiably believed (and known) on the basis of understanding them. This is something everyone can readily agree on. "Adobo is a popular Filipino dish." (This is readily observable by most Filipinos.) 2. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE These are personal stories or experiences used to support a claim. While relatable, they may not apply universally. Anecdotal evidence generally is the experience or observations of one person. "My Lola's adobo recipe is the best! Everyone who tries it says so." (Personal experience used to support a claim, but not universally applicable.)

26. 3. ARGUMENT FROM AUTHORITY An argument from authority is when someone uses an authority's words and not their reasoning to justify an argument. This relies on the credibility of a respected source, like a doctor saying a certain medication is effective. However, the source's qualifications and potential biases should be considered. "Renowned chef, Sylvia Reynoso- Gamboa, considers adobo a cornerstone of Filipino cuisine." (Expertise of a respected figure supports a claim.) 4. EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE This is based on scientific research and experimentation. It involves data collection, analysis, and testing to reach reliable conclusions. This is the strongest type of evidence. "A recent study by the Department of Tourism found adobo to be the most frequently ordered Filipino dish by foreign tourists." (Data and research support the claim.)

27. By understanding different types of evidence, we can critically evaluate the information we encounter and make informed decisions. Remember, facts require strong, verifiable evidence, especially empirical evidence, while opinions can be supported by various types, but should be recognized as personal viewpoints.

28. Fact – This is true information. You can check or prove it using a book, a map, or by asking your teacher.

29. The Philippines has over 7,600 islands. Water turns into ice when it gets really cold. Examples of facts:

30. Opinion – This is someone’s own feeling or belief . There is no right or wrong answer because it depends on what a person thinks.

31. Adobo is the most delicious dish in the Philippines. Christmas is happier than New Year. Examples of opinions:

32. It uses words like: best, beautiful, bad, should, like, dislike It shows feelings or thoughts How do we know if it’s an opinion?

33. “Fact or Opinion? Prove It!” GROUP ACTIVITY:

34. To collaboratively determine whether given statements are facts or opinions, and explain the type of evidence (if any) that supports each. Objective:

35. 1.Divide the class into 5 groups . Instructions:

36. 2.Each group will be given 10 statements (5 facts and 5 opinions mixed). Instructions:

37. 3.For each statement, they must: Instructions:

38. Identify if it is a fact or an opinion Explain why

39. Identify the type of evidence (Empirical, Self-evident, Anecdotal, or Argument from Authority)

40. 1.The Earth orbits the sun once every 365.25 days. 2.Halo-halo is the most delicious summer treat. 3.Dr. Jose Rizal was born on June 19, 1861. 4.Most people believe that watching too much TV is bad for you. 5.According to a DOH report, daily walking improves heart health. Sample Statements for Group Work:

41. 6.Wearing uniforms makes students more disciplined. 7.Manila is the capital of the Philippines. 8.A friend told me she got sick from eating too much street food. 9.All students hate math. 10.The Philippine eagle is one of the rarest birds in the world. Sample Statements for Group Work:

42. Each group presents 3 examples (1 fact, 1 opinion, 1 statement with supporting evidence) and explains their reasoning to the class. Output:

43. Teacher: “Class, today we learned how to tell the difference between facts and opinions. How Can We Use “Facts vs. Opinions” in Daily Life?

44. Now let’s talk about this: Why is this lesson important in your everyday life? How Can We Use “Facts vs. Opinions” in Daily Life?

45. Here’s how you can use it: How Can We Use “Facts vs. Opinions” in Daily Life?

46. Sometimes, you and your friends may not agree on something. For example: “Basketball is the best sport!” – That’s an opinion. “Basketball uses a ball and two hoops.” – That’s a fact. Knowing what’s a fact or opinion helps us respect each other’s thoughts. You can say, “That’s your opinion, and that’s okay!” 1.When You Talk to Friends

47. Not everything we see or read online is true. Some are just people’s opinions, not facts. So before you believe something, ask: Is this a fact I can check in a book or ask my teacher? Is there proof? Or is it just what someone thinks or feels? 2.When You Watch YouTube or Read Online

48. When writing in your journal or answering a question, it’s good to know: If the teacher asks for a fact, give something that’s true and can be proven. If the teacher asks for your opinion, you can share what you think or feel. Example: Fact: The sun rises in the east. Opinion: I think sunny days are better than rainy days. 3.When You’re Doing School Work

49. Before you decide what to eat, what to buy, or what to believe, ask yourself: Is this something true for everyone (fact)? Or is this just what someone feels (opinion)? This helps you make smart choices and not get confused. 4.When You Make Decisions

50. 1.Can you give a fact about your favorite animal? 2.What is your opinion about recess — do you think it’s too short or just right? 3.Why is it important to know the difference between facts and opinions? Discussion Prompts for Class:

51. Facts are true for everyone. Opinions are true for you — and that’s okay! But before you believe something or repeat it to others, think: “Is it a fact, or just someone’s opinion?” Final Reminder for Kids:

52. Facts and opinions are both important in communication, but they serve different purposes. Facts are verifiable truths supported by strong evidence, especially empirical data. Opinions, on the other hand, reflect beliefs or feelings and may be supported by personal experiences, emotional appeals, or authority. By learning to tell them apart and examining the kind of evidence provided, we become smarter, more critical readers and thinkers.
