Free Resources for Teaching Fact vs Opinion

On Tuesdays I am planning to do a series of posts called Tuesday Treats where I share some free things I have found.

Fact or Opinion quiz

Evelyn's Expedition game

Polar Bear Webquest

Worksheets:
Animal Facts and Opinions

Days of the Week and Holidays facts and opinions

Sports fact and opinion

Fact and Opinion graphic organizer

Videos:
