  3. Facts: The Basics • FACTS • Can be proven to be TRUE! • Answers the questions Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? • Can be verified (checked/proven) by using reference materials (encyclopedias, almanacs, textbooks, biographies, and other non-fiction books). • Sometimes, proving a fact is easy, just like the example at the beginning of class. You can prove that school is in session Monday through Friday because YOU attend school Monday through Friday.
