Fact and Opinion: Can You Tell the Difference?

Use this worksheet to help middle school students learn how to tell the difference between historical facts and opinions! People use both facts and opinions when they are talking about history, and being able to differentiate between the two is an essential skill, both in the classroom and beyond. In this one-page practice worksheet, students will review the difference between facts and opinions using helpful examples. Then, using what they've learned, learners will read several statements, classify each as a fact or an opinion, and write a sentence explaining their reasoning behind each answer.
