C. Presentation of the Lesson

Our activity has something to
do with our lesson today. We
will be discussing about the
three types of claims namely
claim of fact, claim of policy and
claim of values.

D. Discussion of the lesson

Let us discuss first explicit and
implicit information.
Kindly read the presentation.
Anyone? Yes _____.
(A student reads the presentation)
Thank you.
Based on the presentation, who
has an idea about explicit and
implicit information? Anyone?
Yes _____.
-Explicit information is the direct
meaning and implicit is indirect.
Yes, you’re right. Thank you!

Explicit information directly

states information, readers do
not have to infer because the
information being delivered is
stated using the exact words.
Like in this example (reads the
example) the idea or
information here is directly
stated.
While in implicit information it
states information indirectly, it
requires readers to make
inferences based on the text.
Like in this example (reads the
example) the idea here is not
directly stated, you have to
make inferences in order for
you to understand the idea in
this example.
Did you get it class? -Yes ma’am.

Before we move on to the three

types of claims. Let us define
first what is claim.
Kindly read it _____. (A student reads the presentation)

Thank you!
Now based on the presentation,
who has an idea about claim?
-It is the point of view of the author.
Anyone? Yes _____.

Thank you!

Claim is an arguable statement

that defines your goal of the
essay. It is the central
statement of a text where the
writer tries to prove his points
by providing details,
explanations and other types of
evidence.
In the simplest term claims are
the pieces of evidence that
writers and speakers use to
prove their point.

There are characteristics of a

good claim.
Characteristics of a good
claim:
1. A claim should be
argumentative and debatable.
2. A claim should be specific and
focused.
3. A claim should be interesting
and engaging.
4. A claim should be logical.

Illegal drugs are harmful. Do

you think it is an example of
claim? -Yes ma’am.

Yes you’re right it is an example

of claim, but do you think it is an
example of a good claim? -No ma’am.

Why? How did you say so? -Because it is not argumentative

anymore because it is already proven
that illegal drugs are harmful.
Yes, you’re right!
It is not an example of a good
claim because it is already
proven that illegal drugs are
harmful.

Am I clear class? -Yes ma’am.

Now let us talk about the three
types of claims. Let us start with
claim of fact.
Kindly read the presentation.
Anyone? Yes _____. (A student reads the presentation)

Thank you.
Now based on the meaning
presented, who has an idea
about claim of fact?
Anyone? Yes _____. -Statements about past, present and
future.

Yes, thank you!

Claim of fact are the statements

about things were in the past,
how they are in the present, or
how they will be in the future.
Claim of fact deals with ideas or
claims that can be proven or
disapproved with the help of
factual evidence. It should be
debatable yet verifiable that’s
why you need to make sure that
your claims or information is
from a reliable or credible
source.

Now, these are the questions to

answer to check if a claim is a (A student reads the presentation)
claim of fact.
• Can we investigate it
through research or
interviews?
• Did it happen?

Please read the examples (A student reads the presentation)

______.

1. Covid -19 and flu spread in

similar ways.
2. Teens who engaged in
unprotected sex will develop
STDs, became pregnant,
and contract aids.

Do you think these examples

answer the questions to check if
these are claims of fact?
Anyone who wants to answer?
Yes _____. -Yes ma’am.

Why? How did you say so?

-Because we can investigate through
research or interviews about the given
examples and they happened already.
Yes, you’re right!
For the examples no. 1&2 (read
the example) Can we
investigate it through research
or interviews? Yes experts
conducted research about
these examples.
Did it happen? Yes these given
examples already proven.

I have here an example. (A student reads the presentation)

• Smoking is dangerous to
one’s health.

Do you think it is an example of

a claim of fact?
-Yes ma’am.
Why? How do you say so?
-Because we can investigate through
research or interviews about it and it
exist.
Exactly, thank you!
It is an example of a claim of
fact because we can provide
factual evidence which can
prove that smoking is
dangerous to one’s health.

Did you get it class?

-Yes ma’am
Now let us move on to claims of
policy. Anyone who wants to
read the presentation? Yes
_____. (A student reads the presentation)

Thank you.
Based on the idea meaning
presented. Who has an idea
about claim of policy?
Yes_____. -It is something that should or should
not be done.
Very good!!

On this type of claim you are

arguing that something should
be or should not be done. A
claim of policy usually has the
modals should, must and ought
to.

Now here is the question to

answer to check if a claim is a
claim of policy.
(A student reads the presentation)
• What should be done?

Here is the example of claim of

policy. Kindly read it.
(A student reads the presentation)
1. Marijuana should not be
legalized because many
individuals will abuse it.
2. Legislation must be passed
to stop the sale of
cigarettes.

Do you think these examples

answer the questions to check if
these are claims of policy?
-Yes ma’am.
How did you say so?
-Because the given examples are
suggesting what should or should not
be done like the legalization of
marijuana as well as the legislation to
stop the sale of cigarettes
Very good!
We could clearly say that in
these two statements we are
suggesting something that
needs to be done or should not
be done and just like what I said
earlier, claims of policy usually
use modals like should, must
and ought to.

Did you get it class?

-Yes ma’am.
Now let us have the claim of
value. Anyone who wants to
read the presentation? Yes
_____. (A student reads the presentation)

Thank you.
Based on the meaning
presented, who has an idea
about claims of value? Anyone?
Yes _____. -Claim of value talks about good or
bad.
Thank you!

Claim of value is a claim that is

based on preference such as
likes or dislikes, good or bad.
Based on one’s opinion. Claim
of value usually compares two
ideas against one another.

Now these are the questions to (A student reads the presentation)

answer to check if a claim is
claim of values.
• Is it good or bad?
• Is it valuable or not
valuable?
Here are the examples. Kindly
read it
(A student reads the presentation)
1. Taking vitamins is better
than eating fruits and
vegetables in terms of
boosting our immune
system.
 2. Abortion is immoral.

Do you think these examples

answer the questions to check if
these are claims of value?
Anyone? Yes _____. -Yes ma’am.

How did you say so? -Because the given examples talk
about good or bad

Yes, exactly!
Examples no. 1 and 2 are claim
of value. Both talks about good
or bad or like or dislike.
Example no. 1 is based on
one’s opinion, judgement or
experience as to which one is
better than another, the claim
maybe truthful to some but not
all. And example no. 2 talks
about good or bad.

Did you get it class? Any

questions or clarifications?
-None ma’am.
E. Generalization
Class to summarize our
discussion and to see if you
really understand it. Who can
tell me the three types of
claims? Anyone? Yes _____. -The three type of claims are claim of
fact, claim of policy and claim of value.
Excellent!

Now, in your own

understanding, who can define
the three types of claims? Who
wants to answer? Yes _____. -Claim of fact is debatable or
argumentative, claim of policy is talks
about what should or should not be
done and claim of value is based on
one’s preference such as like or dislike
or good or bad.
Exactly, thank you!
I am glad class that you are
able to understand our lesson
for today.
