Fact and Opinion
 A fact is something that can be seen or
proved.
 An opinion is a person’s thoughts or
feelings.
 Clue words such as think and believe can
help readers know that a sentence states
an opinion.
Turn to page 156 in your
book.
 Read the paragraph in the blue box on page
157.
 When I look at the first sentence, I see the
words I think. This tells me that “baseball has
an interesting history” is someone’s opinion. An
opinion cannot be checked because different
people think different things are interesting.
 The second sentence is about something that
happened in history. Dates can be checked in a
reference book, and if they are correct, the
sentence states a fact.
As we read the paragraph on page 157 we will stop and
decide whether each sentence is a fact or opinion.
fact
 In the mid-1800s, the
first baseball teams
were formed in the
United States.
 At first, there were no
rules for how to play.
 Alexander Cartwright
wrote the first set of
rules for baseball.
opinion
 I think baseball has
an interesting history.
 Getting written rules
was the best thing to
happen to baseball.
 Players everywhere
could then play the
game the same way.
Listening Comprehension
 You will listen to a story about two boys
whose fathers helped build the Golden
Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
 Have you ever seen any large bridges?
 Here is a picture of the Golden Gate
Bridge.
Listening Comprehension (cont.)
 “Pop’s Bridge” is historical fiction, a type of fiction that combines a
made-up story with real events from the past.
 Listen as I read the first four paragraphs.
 I know the Golden Gate Bridge is real. I know it opened in 1937,
so this story happens before then. The boy telling the story sounds
like a real boy. I think this story is historical fiction because it is
about events that really happened, but the characters are not real
people.
 You should listen to historical fiction to enjoy it and to learn about
the time, people, places, and events from history that are
discovered.
 Remember that facts are statements that can be seen or proved
and opinions are what people believe, think, or feel.
 Historical fiction includes many facts to make the setting seem
real.
 The characters may state opinions.
Build Robust Vocabulary
 On calm days, Robert sees the sailboats gently skim
the water.
 skim- To skim the surface of something means to move
quickly over it, barely touching it.
 Say the word with me, skim.
 Would a stone that skims the water sink or skip across
the water?
 The boys saw two spans of the bridge being built
together.
 span- A span is the distance between two points.
 Say the word with me, span.
Writing
 A character sketch tells about a person.
Student Model: Character Sketch
Sophia Rivera has short black hair and big brown eyes.
She almost always has a big, friendly grin on her face.
That is one of the first things people notice about her.
Sophia is a small girl, one of the smallest in our class.
But her personality is BIG when she wants it to be.
When Sophia reads in class, her voice is loud and
clear. Believe me, everyone pays attention when she
reads. Sophia loves the color red. On the first day of
school, she wore a red shirt and wanted all of us to
wear red shirts, too.
