identify the subjective language of opinion and feeling, and the objective language of factual reporting

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• identifying ways thinking verbs are used to express opinions; for example, “I think”, “I believe”, and ways summary verbs are used to report findings; for example, “we concluded”
• comparing statements that have similar information presented objectively and subjectively; for example, “The man has 6 cats.” “The man has too many noisy cats.”
