“I really, really loved the book I just finished!”, said Angela. “It was probably the best book I have ever read!” “Wow,” answered Steve. “Why did you like it so much?” To convince Steve that he should read the book, Angela needs to analyze it for him.

Instruction, Modeling and Student Activities
[Provide direct instruction and modeling at DOK 1 in this section.]
When a person makes a claim about something, they are stating that what they are saying is true.
An opinion is how a person feels about a particular person, event, or thing.
An inference is a conclusion based on evidence or reasoning.
Claims, opinions, and inferences are all part of analyzing poetry or other texts.
Look at the chart below to help you understand each of the three elements:
Claims need to be backed up by concrete evidence and factual information. For example, if you state that blue cars are safer in accidents than red cars, you need to be able to prove that. You would need to provide examples, statistics, studies, or real-life scenarios that can prove your statement as true.
Opinions, on the other hand, do not need to be backed up by fact, because they are your feelings about something. You might say that you prefer math to reading. Is there a right or wrong answer to that scenario? Of course not! To create a valid and believable opinion, you would need to have specific reasons
Opinion: “Opinions are intensely personal, so it is understandable that people have strong feelings about theirs. (Ruggiero, 2010, p.34). Your opinion may not be the truth but for an individual it is a personal view and not any one else’s.
Literature is such a beautiful thing because it does not give us an answer to it's questions. There are so many iffy spots that leave us to develop our own thoughts and feelings toward the piece of work. This is an interesting factor because at many times it affects us in a different way and can develop us as an individual. When reading a piece of literature, one person can interpret it in different ways than another person reading the same piece of work. I remember analyzing poems with my English class in the previous years and when we were asked to interpret it, we all had different answers. Sometimes what I got out of the poem didnt even go close to the direction that my classmate
1) The difference between an opinion and a fact is that an opinion can be used as the main topic of an essay. It is based on partial knowledge of a subject where the writer thinks what seems true. In a fact, however, the statements are based on absolute certainty and can be proven if needed to. Facts cannot be used as an essay topic since no sides exist, meaning no people to persuade.
TTW assess the accuracy of the predictions made to the discussion after the reading of the text. Was the use of prior knowledge helpful?
indicates that they have knowledge that what they are saying is not necessarily true; therefore,
Most people in our society say what’s on their mind and give opinions on just about any subject. For the most part, people don’t always know everything about an issue before they offer their opinion; sometimes they don’t know anything at all, but they still give their input anyway. Having our views is a form of communicating with others, like understanding where someone stands on certain issues or arguing for facts. . Opinions should always be backed up with evidence.
1. An opinion is your own belief, and a fact is something that has been proven.
There are ways to identify if something is an opinion or a fact. Opinions have different qualities than facts. Opinions are personal and judgments. They can not be proven and opinions are based on someone's knowledge, beliefs,views or experiences. They are sometimes written in a first person’s point of view and may differ between people and groups of people. Many opinions include words like: are all the same, is the best, shouldn’t, is more fun than or everybody /everyone. With these patterns of words and qualities we can state something is a opinion and not a fact
The claim has to be accurate, and defendable. Also, they should a proper documentation that support the Claim of the plaintiff.
I also prepared my arguments beforehand. I then supported each of my claims or claims by solid arguments based on factual and objective.
The difference between an opinion and a fact is that an opinion should be arguable and should bring up questions while a fact is something majority of people would consider to be true or reality.
Based off the words of George Orwell all opinion are equal, but some are more equal than others. There are echelons of types of options, some of the echelons can be tested and argued and some will be better than others. An opinion is not just saying an opinion, but the thought and perspective of it. If two people share the same opinion but one has no thought or perspective while the others does, is one better?
It states that there is no true or false,
My strongest claim suggested that killing can be justified under certain circumstances. No one objected directly to this claim, they agreed there are occasions when killing is okay. However, it could be suggested that killing is immoral and goes against religious beliefs which makes it a weak claim. However, my weakest claim suggested that if the man was an organ donor and gave his consent then it was okay for the surgeon to kill him. The objection to this claim stated, that the process of transplantation is a “waiting game” and it is one thing for people to want to donate their organs, but they should not be murdered to expedite the process. I used more normative claims rather than descriptive claims. For example, I suggested that killing
1. The difference between opinion and facts is that an opinion can be used as a topic of an essay. An opinion makes the essay more interesting for the reader. However, facts can not be used as a topic since there will be no one to persuade, making the essay less interesting
