Global Passport Classifier

This worksheet engages students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 with a creative writing and critical thinking task that strengthens their understanding of facts and opinions. Using a fun “passport challenge” format, learners travel through themed destinations-pizza, trees, cell phones, and movies-where they generate original factual statements and opinion statements, practicing classification, concise writing, and idea clarity.
