Mixed-Up Fact Finder

Students read a short narrative blending both factual information and fictional elements. They then analyze a series of statements from the story, determining which lines represent real-world facts and which are fictional inventions. This structure encourages learners to pay close attention to scientific details and recognize when imaginative embellishments are added. The worksheet helps students distinguish credible information from narrative elements designed for entertainment. By explaining why each line is fact or fiction, students practice expressing logical reasoning and citing specific text clues.
