Homework: Facts vs. Opinions
If you look at a newspaper, you will find that it contains many different kinds of stories. News stories present facts--statements that are true by definition or that can be proved by observations. Editorials, in contrast, present opinions--predictions or statements of value, belief, policy, or obligation that can be supported by facts but not proved. Here are some examples:
FACT: The president's official residence is in the White House
OPINION: The Congress and the President should do something to house the homeless people sleeping in the park across from the White House.The first statement can be proved by definition.The second statement can easily be proved by observation.
Take this information into consideration when writing about Facts or Opinions. How do you prove facts? How do you provide supporting details for an opinion?
