Submission Required
Using sample newspaper sentences about California agriculture, ports, and tech, students identify which statements are facts and which are opinions. They highlight clue words, verify factual statements against class sources, and rewrite two opinion statements into evidence-based reporting sentences. This prepares students to use stronger evidence in their newspaper articles and essays.
