Fact vs. Opinion vs. Informed Opinion
I would like this class to practice using the following exercise. Answer these on a separate Google Doc if you're doing this online or on the printed copy if you're doing it in class. Share it with Mr. Chau when completed. Then, have a look at the following websites and record down which one is a fact, which one is an opinion, and which one is an informed opinion:

Formal Email Communications
Sending an email may seem like an easy task. However, sending an email formally with all the proper elements may be a bit more challenging.
