Objective and subjective, Facts and Opinions complete lesson KS2 KS3 English, PSHE

A complete, ready-to-teach English lesson (slideshow and worksheet - approx 1 hour - 1.5 hours) explaining the difference between facts and opinions, framed through statements being objectively true, subjective, or false. This works as an excellent standalone lesson, but I have found it most useful when starting a unit on non-fiction texts (e.g. non-chronological reports, explanation texts). Works well for Year 4, year 5, year 6, year 7 and perhaps Year 8.

**Lesson includes: **

• SPAG warmup
• Explanation, and worked examples, of differentiating between facts, opinions and falsehoods.
• A printable worksheet with learning objective, in which students sort statements as either “objective”, “subjective” or “false”. I have used this as a cutting and sorting activity, but students could easily draw out the sorting table themselves and write the statements into the correct sections.
