Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! To start our journey into museums, let me tell you a quick story about my visit to the Louvre. I saw the famous Mona Lisa. The guide said, 'This painting is objectively the most beautiful piece of art in the entire world, and everyone who sees it feels immense joy. It was painted in 1503, which makes it over 500 years old.' Now, I want you to listen carefully. In my story, the guide said one thing that is a fact and one thing that is just his personal opinion or feeling. Can you spot the opinion? Raise your hand when you think you have it."
Wait for hands. Elicit answers. Confirm: "Yes! 'This painting is objectively the most beautiful...' is an opinion. 'It was painted in 1503' is a fact. Today, we will practice spotting opinions and deducing meaning in longer talks about museums." |
Students listen attentively to the teacher's story. They analyze the statements, identifying the subjective opinion versus the objective fact. Students raise their hands to share their answer: "The opinion is that it's the most beautiful piece of art." |
