  8. Eastern Screech Owls(Projectable 11.2) • The most beautiful owl is the Eastern screech owl. It lives mostly in North America in wooden areas. Some screech owls are found in crowded towns and cities. • Eastern screech owls are attractive birds with pretty yellow eyes, a black bill, and grayish feathers. They are considered small birds. The measure only 6-10 inches and weigh only 4-8 ounces.

  9. Eastern Screech Owls(Projectable 11.2) • Eastern screech owls eat many types of food. They love to eat crayfish and earthworms. Screech owls use their excellent vision for hunting. • Most screech owls stay with one partner for their entire lives. The female lays a few eggs each year. The mother and father both take care of the owlets. Sadly, most screech owls live only 12 years.

  10. Think Aloud (Fact and Opinion) • The first sentence is a statement that contains the word beautiful. You can’t verify that an owl is beautiful, so this must be an opinion. I’ll note it in the opinion column.

  11. Infer/Predict • While you read you should pause to infer, or figure out, using text details and your knowledge, as to why the author included particular facts and opinions. You can also predict what may occur next.

  12. Think Aloud • This passage contains facts about screech owls as well as many opinions. I infer that the author cares very much about screech owls. If the passage continued, I predict there would be more interesting information about these owls.

  30. Think Aloud (Fact and Opinion) • The author says “this otherworldly creature was a person.” this cannot be a fact because you can’t verify it- an owl is not a person. It must be an opinion, because it describes the author’s belief. She says Yammer’s diet of mice and cricket is included on the family shopping list, and that Yammer sits back of the dining-room chair at dinner. I know these are facts because I could verify them by interviewing family members.

  31. What proof does the author give to support her opinion that Yammer is humanlike? (p. 282-283)

  32. Question • Reread pages 286-287. • What facts does the author give about Yammer? • She describes how Yammer interacts with the train. • What facts does the author give about owls? • She describes the types of prey most owls will go after. • How can you verify those facts? • Check online or in print resources.

  33. Question • What message do you think the author is trying to send to the reader? • Yammer may seem human, but he is still a wild animal and will act like one, even though his actions don’t make sense in a house.

  34. Examine the statements about owls the author presents on pages 286-287. What message do you think the author is trying to send her readers?

  35. How does the author use facts and opinions to persuade her children to set Yammer free?(pp. 288-289) • She bases her opinions about how Yammer will react on facts about Bubo. This makes her opinions sound like facts.

  36. Fact • A fact is a specific statement that can be proven true or false.

  37. Opinion • An Opinion is a statement that tells a thought, feeling, or belief. Itcan not be proven true or false.

  38. Distinguish • To understand how one thing is different from another
