'Facts About...' Template
A template that students can use when learning to distinguish between fact and opinion.
Use this template when studying an informational or biographical text. Pair it with one of our biography templates, or use it as an informal assessment in your writing centers.
Once the students are finished researching, they choose 4 facts and write one in each box. Younger students can draw pictures if they are unable to use words.
