Medium 2 brings Grade 5 students into news article excerpts that mix measured data with reporters' impressions. Learners sort claims using signal words, label statistics as facts, and match weak headlines to their evidence-based versions. The worksheet builds awareness of bias and shows how careful Grade 5 readers can separate measured rainfall, census numbers, or quoted feelings from sweeping opinions about leaders or events.
Style:
Fact and Opinion
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A news report states the storm dropped six inches of rain, which is a fact.
2. A reporter writes the storm was the scariest ever, which is an opinion.
3. If a journalist quotes a witness, the quoted feelings are still opinions.
4. A headline that says 'best decision ever' uses an opinion signal word.
5. The town's population is 12,500, according to the census, which is a fact.
6. Saying 'the mayor is the kindest person in town' is an opinion.
7. A reporter checks two sources before printing a claim, making it a stronger fact.
8. Calling a leader 'a hero' without evidence remains an opinion.
9. A graph showing test scores rose ten points is a fact display.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
