FaCt and OpInIoN

**Let's distinguish between Fact and Opinion...Do you know the difference?** 1. Barack Obama became the President of the United States on January 20, 2009. //Is this a fact or opinion?// ** IT IS A FACT ** // It is a fact because it can be proved. I can check newspapers or I can visit the White House website. Don't believe me check it out... http://www.whitehouse.gov/ //  //**Is this a fact or opinion?**// ** IT IS AN OPINION ** //It is an opinion because it is just what one person believes, everybody may not agree with it.//
 * 2. Cookie Dough Ice Cream is better than Vanilla.**

So how can we define Fact and Opinion?

** A **** FACT **** is a statement that can be proven true. **** An **** OPINION ** ** is how a person or group thinks or feels. **


 * Now it’s your turn, read the statement and tell me if you think it is a fact or opinion:
