Bare Assertions vs Supported Opinions
This worksheet set prompts students to distinguish between bare assertions and supported opinions using categorisation and signal word identification. It encourages critical thinking through colour-coded sentences and challenges fast finishers to recognise key signal words influencing their decisions. Ideal for reinforcing language nuances in the classroom.
Learning goals
- We are learning that bare assertions (a claim of fact without supporting evidence) must take into account different points of view.
