ELL and language support

Low-stakes opinions about food, weather, and games help multilingual readers hear the difference.

Ask: can you prove it?
Teach students that a fact can be proven or measured, while an opinion tells how someone feels.
Print the answer key separately
The PDF puts the answer key on its own page, so you can keep it apart from the student copy.

Under the hood

How the fact and opinion worksheet generator works

Built-in worksheets use original, classroom-safe passages written for this tool. Each passage pairs a checkable fact with a low-stakes opinion, an evidence phrase from the text, and a short explanation, so the answer key is always grounded in the passage.

Multiple-choice questions use real statements of the opposite type from other passages as the wrong answers, so a 'which is a fact' question has three real opinions as distractors, with exactly one correct choice and no duplicates. Sort questions list a mix of facts and opinions for students to label F or O. Choose, write, and find-the-evidence questions ask students to classify, compose, or quote from the passage, with expected answers in the key. Custom passages let you bring your own text; when you do not provide a fact, opinion, evidence, or explanation, the key uses a teacher-check sample instead of inventing one.

Everything is generated on your device. Press Regenerate for a fresh set from the same options, and print or save a clean PDF, instantly and for free. Your custom passages and settings never leave your browser.
