How do you know if something is a fact or just someone's opinion? Ask yourself one simple question: "Can I check it?"
For example, "The Taj Mahal is in Agra" is a fact. You can check a map. "The Taj Mahal is the most beautiful building" is an opinion. You cannot measure "most beautiful."

Fill-in-the-blanks for fact/opinion vocabulary
In academic writing, you cannot simply state a personal as a fact. Instead, you must support any you make with solid facts. For example, if you state that a new study method improves exam scores, you need to provide clear from test results. Without this proof, your teacher cannot be that your statement is accurate. Always remember that a strong school project relies on verified data rather than just feelings.
Writing task to support a claim with evidence
A claim is weak without evidence. Imagine you are debating someone who says, "Reading doesn't help you learn words." Prove them wrong by providing evidence.
Where is this evidence coming from?
Make sure this is something that can be checked, not just 'I think reading is good'.
