  8. E (entertain) Entertain means to amuse someone. Creative writing is used to convey message. Examples fictional stories, comics, poems, jokes, riddles

  9. Fact or Opinion? • According to sales records, PS3 is the worst selling of all computer game consoles. • Therefore, we can conclude that PS3 is the least popular computer game consoles. • This is because PS3 does not have easy to use hand held devices.

  10. Facts Facts are statements that can be proven. Facts may be true or false. But facts can be proven. Examples 1. Statistically, women live longer than men. • Most buses weigh more than most cars. • There are ten inches in a foot (false).

  11. Opinions Opinions are statements that cannot be proven. Opinions can be argued. Opinions may be supported with facts. Opinions cannot be proven. Examples • Golf is boring. • Pizza is delicious. • Math is the hardest subject.

  12. Bias Subjective information is one person's opinion. In a newspaper, the editorial section is the place for subjectivity. It can be based on fact, but it is one person's interpretation of that fact. In this way, subjective information is also analytical. Objective information reviews many points of view. It is intended to be unbiased. News reporters are supposed to be objective and report the facts of an event. Encyclopedias and other reference materials provide objective information.
