Become a Question Detective

Your mission

🎒What you'll need

• ▸A notebook for your case file

🧭Your step-by-step plan

2. 2

   Sort them

   Mark each as a fact (checkable) or an opinion (a feeling).

3. 3

   Investigate the facts

   For each fact-claim, find a reliable way to check it and record what you learn.

   Decide for each claim: true, false, or “still not sure.”
