 Lesson
Are you sure?
1
What I Need to Know

In the previous module, you learned how to make inferences

and draw conclusions based on texts. Learning how to make
inferences and conclusions help you understand what you are
reading.

This time, you will be learning how to recognize the

difference between what is true information from what is just a
belief, a judgment, or what someone thinks about.

Learning to distinguish true information from a personal

judgment can help you decide on what to believe and what not
to believe.

In this module, you will accomplish different activities to

improve the thinking skills that will help you classify information
whether it is true or not.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

• define what is a fact and an opinion;
• distinguish sentences or phrases as fact or opinion;
• differentiate fact from opinion (EN3RC-IIIa 2.13); and
• appreciate the value of knowing the fact and the
opinion from an information.
