 statements from famous people.
Write
whether you AGREE OR DISAGREE
with their opinion.
C. ANALYSIS Did you find the previous activity
helpful? This part of the module will
give you better understanding
about the difference between own
opinion and familiar
texts and when do we consider a
selection or passage a familiar one.
But first let us unlock the meaning
of own opinion and familiar text.
answer the following questions:
• Do you remember this story?
• What can you say about the
story?
Let the students share their
views and opinions about the
story in front of the class.
What is comparing and
contrasting?
• Comparing is the process of
looking at the similarities of
two things or ideas with the
use of appropriate transition
signals.
• Contrasting is the process of
looking at the differences
between two things or ideas
with the use of appropriate
transition signals.
 What country is described
in both multimodal texts?
• What differences are shown
in the multimodal texts in
promoting Malaysia?
• How is the idea presented in
both multimodal texts?
Why do we need to compare
and contrast things and
ideas?
• We need to compare and
contrast to identify the
similarities and differences
between ideas. Comparing
and contrasting will help us
better comprehend the issues
raised or points made in any
reading passage. These skills
are most especially useful
when making a stand or
giving opinions. By
identifying the similarities
and differences between
ideas, we, as readers, are able
to form our own informed and
evidence-based opinions.
• There are many ways to

The text above is an essay
that compares and contrasts
the capital cities of the
United States of America and
the United Kingdom. You can
extract information from
compare-contrast texts such as
this to make opinions or
compare and contrast your
own opinion with that of the
writers. One way to tell if a
composition is a compare-
contrast text is through the
use of transition signals, which
contribute to the coherence of
a paragraph. What is an
opinion? An opinion refers
to a view or judgment
formed in the mind about a
particular topic or issue. Using
opinion-marking signals, you
can make your own opinion
about a specific topic, issue, or
subject matter where one's
position or stand is presented.
We can also compare one's
own opinion concerning the
accuracy of the information as
note and present similarities
and differences of any
expository texts using non-
linear texts such as graphic
organizers. The most
commonly used graphic
organizer is the Venn
Diagram. From there, you
can write paragraphs to
communicate similarities and
differences, and then your
opinion.
• The story of My Thai Cat
presents information based on
the history of a particular
place where you can make
your opinion based on your
observation or reading. In
short, it is evidence that
reflects the Thai culture.
Read and analyze the
following statements about
the story titled" My Thai
Cat" by Pratoomratha Zeng
found on page 6 of this
module. Notice the similarities
and differences between the
beliefs and traditions of
Thailand and the Philippines.
A. In the Thai culture, to
refuse the will or command of
the father is a grave sin. In like
manner, Filipinos believe that
disobeying and disrespecting
parents are great sins.
B. Thais pray when they ask
for something; the same is
true for Filipinos.
C. Thais offer cats as
 its basis to make an opinion instruments to ask for rain;
valid and reliable. The activities however, Filipinos do not.
and assessments under the D. Thai Buddhists worship
What’s More section of this Buddha while most Filipino
module will help you develop Christians worship Jesus
the skill to make opinions Christ. What do you think of
based on a text presented. To the statements above?
sum it up, in order for you to
effectively compare and
contrast your own opinion
based on a given familiar text,
you have to do the following:
First, you must identify the
similarities and differences.
Second, take note of the
similarities and differences
using the transition signals for
comparing and contrasting.
Third, compare and contrast
your opinion based on
evidence gathered or
presented.

D. ABSTRACTION In comparing own opinion, there is
a representation of similarities to
those presented in the familiar text.
Look at the example below.
Familiar Text: “Education is the
most powerful weapon you can use
to change the world.” – Nelson
Mandela
Own Opinion: People with good
education can make this world a
better place.
Take note how own opinion is like
the familiar text presented. The
idea presented in the two
statements is the same.
How do you feel when someone
listen to your opinion?
Do you think it is essential to hear
one’s opinion?
Go over and read closely the
story titled 'My Thai Cat.' Take
note of the Thais' culture,
beliefs, and practices in the
story summary presented in
the flowchart.
Which of the statements
express comparison? How
about contrast? Now,
consider these:
➢ Statements A and B show
comparison.
➢ Statement A compares two
similar ideas: Thais' and
Filipinos' culture of respect for
elders.
➢ Statement B compares two
similar ideas: Thais pray;
Filipinos also pray. Note the
word signals used in
comparing statements A and
B. We must remember that

In contrasting own opinion, there is
a representation of difference to
those
presented in the familiar text.
Look at the example below.
Familiar Text: “Education is the
most powerful weapon you can use
to change the world.” – Nelson
Mandela
Own Opinion: To have a better
world, educated people are not
needed.
Take note how own opinion differs
from the familiar text presented.
The idea presented in the two
statements is not the same or
different.
In this lesson, you will use your own
opinion or personal judgment to
which you can agree or disagree
with to the opinions presented in
the familiar texts.
Shaping Interpretation
• What is the story all about?
• How did Sii Sward become
instrumental in praying for
rain?
• Do we have the same
practice of worshipping here in
the Philippines?
• How do we Filipinos and
Thais regard cats?
• In what ways are Filipinos
similar to or different from the
Thais in terms of praying or
worshipping?
when comparing, aside from
using in like manner and the
same with, we can also use
other signal words or phrases
such as: also, in the same
manner, likewise, and
similarly. How about in
statements C and D?
➢ Statements C and D show
contrast.
➢ Statement C shows two
contrasting ideas: Thais offer
cats to ask for something
while Filipinos do not.
➢ Statement D also shows
two contrasting ideas: Thai
Buddhists worship Buddha,
while most Filipino Christians
worship Jesus Christ. We must
remember that when
contrasting, aside from using
however and while, we can
also use other signal words or
phrases such as even though,
but, in contrast, nevertheless,
otherwise, yet, though,
instead, and on the other
hand. How do we make an
opinion from the similarities
and differences between
things or ideas as guided by
evidence? The first part of the
module discussed the purpose
of comparing and contrasting.
We used the story titled, "My
Thai Cat," which is a narrative
text, to give a background of
the Thai culture. We can use
the narrative text as evidence
to make your opinion based
