The student is having trouble with finding a fact and an opinion when reading a given text. The student knows that a fact can be proven true and an opinion is what someone thinks, but the student cannot distinguish between the two in the stories that she reads. What is something Mrs. Clark could do to help her student understand fact and opinion in given texts? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would continually discuss with the student what a fact and opinion is. Additionally I would relate fact and opinion to nearly every conversation and communication that goes on in the classroom. Specifically with this student anytime I could ask her, "Now is that your opinion? or a fact?" I would. Making facts and opinions real and relating them to her specific feelings and knowledge would assist her in deciphering the differences and being able to apply the new knowledge to text and readings. Additionally I would apply fact and opinion activities across content areas as well so she can see them in many different aspects and genres.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this solution would be helpful to this situation.
