In our writing, 6.22 have been focusing on learning about the difference between a fact and an opinion.

A fact is a statement that can be proven or checked, while an opinion is a statement that tells what a person thinks, feels, or believes and cannot be proven.

We learnt that authors or writers usually give their opinion on a topic and back it up with facts, this makes their argument more convincing.

We spent our lesson researching facts about our favourite animal and then presenting these in a short factual report.

To achieve our learning intention we ensured that our reports had: a title, an introduction, sub-headings and different paragraphs each with a different focus.
