This Grade 4 fact and opinion worksheet contrasts editorial writing with news articles. Multiple-choice items identify which type of article is built from facts and which from viewpoints, asking Grade 4 students to spot signal language. Five fill-in sentences review the five W questions, the role of evidence, and the goal of an editorial. The page strengthens the skill of judging whole passages, not just single sentences.
