Fact and Opinion Worksheet: Model Repair Story — Grade 3

Facts and Opinions About a Plan: Club Reading

Ari paints a bright sign for the club door. From the far end of the hall, the letters look like one dark stripe. Ari feels disappointed, then asks a partner to test a larger version. Together they remove extra words and make the main message readable. The finished sign has less decoration, but visitors can find the room. A fictional reviewer adds: “Ari made the best possible choice.”

Facts and Opinions About a Plan: Garden Reading

Mia sees a dry seed tray beside the window. She asks before moving it, then carries it to a safe shelf. She adds the amount of water shown on its care card. The next day she notices that some leaves look firmer. She writes down what changed instead of claiming every plant needs the same care. A fictional reviewer adds: “Mia made the best possible choice.”

Facts and Opinions About a Plan: Library Reading

Leo plans to finish sorting the library cart before lunch. He finds a book with a loose page and pauses. Rather than hide it on a shelf, he places a note inside and asks the librarian where damaged books belong. Sorting takes longer, but the book reaches the repair tray. Leo changes his checklist for the next day. A fictional reviewer adds: “Leo made the best possible choice.”

A Park Reading Spot

Invented practice data or scenario; not a report of a real study.

Our class visited a small park to choose a place for outdoor reading. We counted twelve trees and two benches. One bench stood under a tree; the other was beside the sunny path. During our ten-minute visit, two walkers used the path. A classmate said, "I think the shaded bench is the best place to read because the pages are easier to see there." Another classmate preferred the sunny bench. We did not visit any other parks. Our notes describe this visit, not every park in town.
