Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How are you doing?
This week, we continued our Psychology unit by exploring an important question:
How do we know what is true?
Good readers don't just understand English—they also think critically about the information they read. Learning to tell facts from opinions is an essential skill, especially in today's world.
See you next week!

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1
Unit 8 Psychology
What are you afraid of these days?
Reading 1: A Dangerous World?
We reviewed the article by reading it one paragraph at a time and then looked more deeply at the author's ideas.
You practiced identifying cause-and-effect relationships, organizing information in a chart, and explaining why people often feel that the world is becoming more dangerous.
We also learned an important reading skill:
Facts vs. Opinions
You practiced deciding whether statements were facts or opinions and identified opinion statements using words such as think, believe, and should.
Being able to distinguish facts from opinions is an essential skill for critical reading and for evaluating information in everyday life.
Write What You Think
Finally, you discussed questions about the news and the media, including:
- Where do you get your news?
- How can you tell facts from opinions?
- Is crime increasing or decreasing?
- Why does the news focus so much on crime?
After the discussion, you chose one question and wrote your own response on Google Classroom.
Expressing and supporting your own opinion is one of the most important goals of the Advanced Class.
