5. After the video, the teacher will further discuss the following concepts:

Note: The teacher will encourage interaction during the discussion.

ASSERTION - is a term generally used to refer to statements of fact, opinion, belief and
prejudice.
TYPES OR CATEGORIES OF ASSERTION

a. A FACT is a verifiable statement. It can be proven objectively by verified

observations or the results of research among others. Because statements of
fact can be double-checked for accuracy, there is general agreement
about the truth they suggest.

For example, with President Rodrigo Duterte, the statement that he is the 16th
President of the Philippines is a fact because there is a general truth to it,
everyone agrees about it and everyone in the country knows that he is really the
16th president of the country. Thus, it is non-debatable.

b. OPINION is a type of assertion which expresses judgment, viewpoint, or

statement about matters commonly considered to be subjective. It is a
personal view; however, it is still based on facts hence, it is debatable and
potentially changeable. In other words, it is an honest attempt to draw a
conclusion from factual evidence, and not a mere statement of one’s belief,
preference, or prejudice.
It can sometimes be distinguished from other constructions because they
often uses qualifying words such as; almost, usually, maybe, probably,
often, some most and in most cases.

Examples
Most public schools are ready for distance education.

The word “most” makes the sentence an opinion that is easier to support.

President Duterte is a hero. (It is based on your opinion which is also derived
from what you see in him.)

c. COMMONPLACE ASSERTION - is a stereotype, an oversimplification or a

prejudice, which is a half-baked opinion based on insufficient or unexamined
evidence, but it is presented as if it were a fact. It is often accepted from
others (families, friends, media etc.), making it too common to be questioned
about its truthfulness.

Note: (A video will be played for further discussion about commonplace assertion)
ENGLISH 10 (Quarter 2-Module 3)_ Formulating a Statement of Opinion or Assertion.mp4

For example:
 1. Men are stronger than women.
2. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Written as declarative sentences, these statements appear to be facts. But let us

analyze each of them.

The first example is a typical stereotype, a statement that many people have
accepted to be true. However, there is no evidence to support this, and there
are many layers of the statement that are ambiguous. For instance, it is not clear
if it is referring only to physical strength. This is why the statement is something
that many women have been trying to disprove.

As for the second example, many people have also accepted this as a fact.
However, it is not clear how an apple can keep someone so healthy that she
wouldn’t need to visit a physician anymore. Moreover, it is still possible that
someone who eats apple everyday could get sick and will need to visit a doctor.

 V. ASSIGNMENT:

IT’S FINE TO OPINE: Write an opinion article about any current

social or political issue. Be sure to phrase your opinions and
assertions correctly, and write in no less than 200 words. Be guided
by the following rubric.

Constructivist teaching is based on the belief that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a
process of meaning and knowledge construction rather than passively receiving information. This particular
teaching philosophy is evident in the crafting of this lesson plan. Not only that the 4A’s instructional model
which is anchored on constructivism was used but as well as the different activities employed where
learners are considered the makers of meaning and knowledge. This teaching philosophy fosters critical
thinking and creates motivated and independent learners.

NCOI RPMS Indicator Applied a personal philosophy of teaching that is learner-centered.
