Fact and opinion..

Fact and opinion are often woven together in texts and speeches. It is, therefore, imperative that students can unravel the threads of what is true from what is mere belief.

(Also think of fake news...)

To determine a text's main purpose, ask yourself: 

1. Does the text offer a set of facts? If so, its purpose is probably to inform. 

2. Is the text an anecdote, novel, story, or poem? If the answer is yes, its purpose is probably to entertain.

3. Does the text attempt to change the reader's opinion? If so, it is probably intended to persuade.

 4. Does the text provide a series of steps to accomplish a specific task? If so, it is a text that instructs.

5. Does the text want to make you do or buy something? To activate.
