Fact and Opinion
 A fact is something that can be seen or
proved.
 An opinion is a person’s thoughts or
feelings.
 Clue words such as think and believe can
help readers know that a sentence states
an opinion.
T32
Turn to page 156 in your
book.
 Read the paragraph in the blue box on page
157.
 When I look at the first sentence, I see the
words I think. This tells me that “baseball has
an interesting history” is someone’s opinion. An
opinion cannot be checked because different
people think different things are interesting.
 The second sentence is about something that
happened in history. Dates can be checked in
a reference book, and if they are correct, the
sentence states a fact.
T32-33
As we read the paragraph on page 157 we will stop and
decide whether each sentence is a fact or opinion.
fact

first baseball teams

an interesting history.

whose fathers helped build the Golden
Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
 Have you ever seen any large bridges?

Bridge.
T34
Listening Comprehension (cont.)
 “Pop’s Bridge” is historical fiction, a type
of fiction that combines a made-up story
with real events from the past.
 Listen as I read the first four paragraphs.
 I know the Golden Gate Bridge is real. I
know it opened in 1937, so this story
happens before then. The boy telling the
story sounds like a real boy. I think this
story is historical fiction because it is
about events that really happened, but
the characters are not real people.
T34
Listening Comprehension (cont.)
 You should listen to historical fiction to
enjoy it and to learn about the time,
people, places, and events from history
that are discovered.
 Remember that facts are statements that
can be seen or proved and opinions are
what people believe, think, or feel.
 Historical fiction includes many facts to
make the setting seem real.
 The characters may state opinions.

Sophia Rivera has short black hair and big
brown eyes. She almost always has a big,
friendly grin on her face. That is one of the first
things people notice about her. Sophia is a
small girl, one of the smallest in our class. But
her personality is BIG when she wants it to be.
When Sophia reads in class, her voice is loud
and clear. Believe me, everyone pays attention
when she reads. Sophia loves the color red.
On the first day of school, she wore a red shirt
and wanted all of us to wear red shirts, too.
