A fact is a piece of information that is true for everyone.
An opinion is a piece of information that is not true for everyone.
Example: It is a fact that chickens have feathers. They do. There is no changing that fact.

               It is my opinion that chickens are ugly, but not everyone thinks they are.
               That is just my opinion.
Directions: Read each statement. Put an F if it is a fact, and put an O if it is an opinion.
