    1. Fact vs. Opinion

    2. Facts Can be proven (could be a true fact or could be an untrue fact) Can be unfamiliar over time Can be questioned if not widely known

    3. Opinion The author’s opinion is reflected. Uses subjective language

    4. Informed opinions Good argument – supported by facts and logical order

    5. Unformed opinion Has no valid support (facts)

    6. Blending fact and Opinion Charged, connotative language (bias)

    7. Connotative language Charged language – has either a positive or negative connotation. Example: Hurricane Wilma was terrific. (-) = negative meaning Example: You did terrific on your last test. (+) = positive meaning

    8. Denotative language Language is not “charged” and shows no “emotion” Example: The car is red. The Germans invaded Poland in 1939.
