Coffee Ad Clues

This worksheet guides students to read an advertisement carefully and then distinguish between factual statements and opinion-based claims. Students review several statements taken directly from the ad and sort each one into the categories “Fact” or “Opinion,” using contextual clues and critical-thinking skills. By evaluating the reliability of different types of statements, students learn how advertisers blend facts with persuasive opinions to influence consumer perceptions. This activity strengthens students’ ability to analyze truthfulness, detect subjective language, and determine whether claims can be verified. It supports essential media-literacy skills and promotes informed decision-making.
