MOTIVATION/RECALL The student will give a recap of the previous lesson.
Explicit and Implicit Claims.
A. Activity Begin with a brief discussion on the importance of critical reading skills. Ask
students why it's essential to be able to identify claims in written texts.

The teacher will let the students read three sentences and let them analyze
what each sentence's idea is.

1. Excessive consumption of alcohol can lead to many illnesses.

2. Child Protection Policy should be implemented in the school system.
3. Saying “OPO” is the highest form of respect.

Define the three types of claims - claim of fact, claim of policy, and claim of
value. Give examples for each type.
B. Analysis 1. What have you observed in each sentence?
2. How would you differentiate each sentence?
3. Why is it important for readers to know how to read and evaluate a
claim?
C. Abstraction What is a Claim?
Claim is an arguable statement – an idea that a speaker or writer expect an
audience to accept. A claim is an opinion, idea, or assertion. Here are some
examples: “I think we should protest the Anti-Terror Bill”. “I believe that the
present administration has no concrete plans to fight COVID-19”. “We need
Modernization”. These three claims might all be valid but it should be
supported with evidence to get the agreement of an audience. The word
claim comes from the Latin word clamare, which means “to cry out, shout.”
Hence, with the definition of claim, this can then be argued, verified, or
disproved. A claim deals with searching
of agreement from the audience to agree with the statement or discourse. It
also involves anticipation from the audience’s agreement and anxiousness
that they might not agree with. A claim must pose two sides of a coin. It is a
question whether the audience will agree or not. Because a claim with certain
answer whether to agree or not to agree is not a claim.

Three (3) types of Claim in a Written Text

1. Claim of Fact. A claim asserts some empirical truth. It is an assertion of:
 A condition that has existed, exists, or will exists.
 Truth of an assertion to be ascertain by an event. The speaker will
give information and offer explanation that characterized the events.
 Argument with strong evidence presented as reason for arguer’s
belief in the claim.
Examples:

1. Action research are conducted to respond the needs of the students.

2. Illegal mining has already become an issue in the Philippines.
3. School is the most important part of education.
2. Claim of Value. A claim asserts judgment. It is an assertion of:
 Look for key words that are a matter of judgment rather than
fact such as: good, well, kind, useful, desirable, etc.
 Authors offer reasons of their judgment, with the ultimate goal to get
the reader’s agreement
with the reasons rather than compare to fact that establish assent to the claim.
 A claim is based on things we like or dislike. Hence, it deals with the
goal on what value us
most.
 Authors argument is based on judgement or value and does not
necessarily carried out facts. Disagreements over values is important
for us to determine how oneself presented his or her point over
certain belief.
 An argument usually gets approval of the other person involved
because of the underlying value of the claim proves to be acceptable
as a public good.
Examples:
1. Living in a city is more productive than living in a countryside.
2. Saying “OPO” is the highest form of respect.
3. Staying with the family with limited resources is more valuable than to
work abroad.
3. Claim of Policy. A claim asserts that an action should be taken.
 Be careful to call that some actions be taken.
 Take note of the key words “should”, “ought” or “must. These words
may not be present all the time, but if they are, the author’s purpose is
usually to call for an action to be taken.
 The most difficult thing in an argument is to decide whether we
should take an action or not in
any of the claim.
 Argument usually turns on whether the reasons for taking the action
compensates the possible costs of taking the action.
Examples:
1. Deforestation should be eradicated in the Philippines.
2. The government should pursue scholarship programs, especially to those
identified
marginalized sectors affected by COVID-19.
3. Child Protection Policy should be implemented in the
school system.

Short Written Text

*"Studies have shown that regular exercise can improve both physical and
mental health. Therefore, it is imperative for individuals to incorporate
regular physical activity into their daily routines. Not only does exercise help
maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as
heart disease and diabetes, but it also boosts mood and reduces stress levels.

By prioritizing exercise, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and

quality of life."*

**Instructions for Pair Activity:**

1. Divide the class into pairs.

2. Provide each pair with a copy of the written text.
3. Ask the pairs to identify and discuss the claims present in the text.
Encourage them to consider whether each claim falls under the categories of
fact, policy, or value.
4. Instruct them to justify their choices based on evidence from the text itself.
5. Give the pairs a set amount of time to complete the task (e.g., 10 minutes).
6. After the allotted time, reconvene as a class and invite a few pairs to share
their identified claims and reasoning with the class.
7. Encourage discussion and allow other pairs to offer their perspectives or
challenge the choices made by their peers.
8. Summarize the key claims identified and clarify any misconceptions if
necessary.
D. Application Group Activity - Claim Analysis:
 Divide the class into three groups, assigning each group one type of
claim (fact, policy, value).
Text Analysis:
 Provide each group with a different written text that contains all three
types of claims.
 Instruct them to identify and categorize the claims based on their
assigned type. They can use sticky notes to mark the claims in the
text.
 Presentation: Each group presents their findings to the class through
TV reporting, explaining their rationale for categorizing each claim
as they did. Encourage discussion and questions from other groups.

**Text 1: Claim of Fact, Policy, and Value**

*"Climate change poses a significant threat to global ecosystems. Scientists

agree that rising greenhouse gas emissions are leading to increased global
temperatures, resulting in more frequent and severe weather events such as
hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. Governments worldwide must
implement policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to
renewable energy sources to mitigate the impacts of climate change and
preserve the planet for future generations. By taking action to address
climate change, societies can protect vulnerable populations, safeguard
biodiversity, and ensure a sustainable future for all."*

**Text 2: Claim of Fact, Policy, and Value**

*"Education is the key to individual empowerment and societal progress.

Research consistently shows that access to quality education correlates with
higher income levels, better health outcomes, and increased social mobility.
Therefore, it is essential for governments to prioritize investments in
education, including funding for schools, teacher training programs, and

educational resources. By ensuring equitable access to education for all

citizens, societies can foster innovation, reduce poverty, and promote
equality of opportunity, leading to a more prosperous and inclusive future."*

**Text 3: Claim of Fact, Policy, and Value**

*"Social media has revolutionized communication but also presents

significant risks to mental health and well-being. Studies indicate that
excessive use of social media platforms is associated with higher rates of
anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness, particularly among
adolescents and young adults. In response to these findings, it is crucial for
individuals to practice mindful usage of social media and for policymakers to
enact regulations to protect users' mental health. By promoting digital
literacy and creating safe online environments, societies can harness the
benefits of social media while minimizing its negative impacts, fostering
healthier and more balanced digital interactions for all."*
