Goal: classify a stipulated source detail, opinion and untested prediction without calling all opinions false. Materials: Cards A/B/C.

  1. Notice, 3: Read “B has 100 sheets” and “B feels perfect.” Key: first is a stipulated card detail; second is subjective.
  2. Model, 5: Highlight best, everyone, prefer, I think. “These words can signal judgment. The table's $8 and 100 sheets are details in this invented source. A stated preference can be honest without proving a product quality.”
  3. Guide, 7: Sort six strips: “A costs $6”; “B has 100 sheets”; “Sam prefers a smaller book”; “B will last forever”; “B costs 8 cents per sheet”; “Everyone loves B.” Keys: first two and per-sheet price source-supported; Sam preference explicitly attributed; last two unsupported universal/future claims.
  4. Try, 7: Learner writes one objective sentence about Card B and one labelled personal viewpoint that cites a reason. Sample: “A costs $6 in the table.” “I would choose A if my budget were $7.” No personal budget disclosure.
  5. Check, 3: “Is Sam's preference false just because it is subjective?” Key: no; it belongs to a fictional character and is not universal. Next: distinguish attributed view from unsupported statement about everyone.
