Great White Shark - Practice #3

The reason for this assignment is to practice the meaning of fact and opinion.  A fact is always true, and cannot ever be proven wrong.  Also, Fact has the letter t, t for true.  For example:  The student was born on February 7, 1999.   That is a fact.  An opinion is a statement that is the writer's belief.  If it is a belief, it is not a fact.  For example:  The color green is the best color of the rainbow.  This statement is an opinion, because a second person could say that the color red is the best.

Please complete these problems:

Directions: Write on a piece of binder paper, the answer fact or opinion.  Write just the word fact, or opinion.
