After discussing fact and opinion judge TV commercials. Tape record 5-10 commercials from television. Commercials that work well are such things as cleaning products or food items. Have your child divide his paper into 2 columns, labeling one as "facts" and the others as "opinions." As kids watch the commercials, have them carefully listen to every statement and tally whether the statement was a fact or an opinion. Kids will quickly see that there are probably more opinions in commercials than facts!

As an extension to this activity, make your own commerical. Tell your they must include at least 3 facts and 3 opinions for their "product." Perform the commercial.
