To start with our new lesson, let us have an activity

first. This activity will give you an idea of what's our
next topic. This activity is a debate.

Are you familiar with a debate, class? Yes, Sir.

Verygood!

But before that, I will divide you into two groups.

Each group has to take sides and argue. The first
group will be opposed, and the second group will
agree.

Topic: "Should the death penalty be legalized in the

Philippines?"
Rules in a debate:

1. Each group will have a 1 MINUTE time limit to

respond.
2. All groups can present their arguments up to three
times in one minute.
3. During argument presentations, refrain from
interrupting the opposing group.

DEBATE CRITERIA
RATINGS

Persuasiveness 40%
Delivery 20%
TOTAL: 100%

Now, I will give you 1 minute to brainstorm your

ideas, and research your arguments with your
groups.

( 1 minute is done)

(Debate time) ( The two group share their arguments)

Now, based on your activity class, what do you think

will be our topic? Based on our activity, our topic has something
to do with arguments and debate.

Very good! Our topic has something to do about

debate.

C2. Presenting of New Lesson

Composing an argumentative essay

C.3 Spring Board

Introduction

On many occasions, you may have to take a stand on

an issue of a consequence. You cannot stay neutral,
especially when the stakes are considerable. It is
therefore important that you learn to argue well
whether in speaking or writing.

Argument is almost always linked with persuasion.

The students are listening and participating in

the class discussion.

C.4 Intellectual Discussion

Did you understand our discussion, class? Yes, Sir.

What your own understanding about argumentative

writing, class? In an argumentative writing, the emphasis is
on developing the skills to present logical
arguments supported by evidence. This
involves researching a topic, identifying
different perspectives, and constructing a
well-structured argument to persuade the
reader of the validity of a particular viewpoint.

Excellent! You really listen to the discussion!

How about persuasive writing? In a persuasive writing, the focus is more on
convincing the reader to adopt a specific
opinion or take a particular action. Persuasive
writing often relies on emotional appeals and
rhetorical techniques to sway the reader's
opinion.
Very good, Lamboyog! I'm impressed with your
answer!

Now, what's the similarities between the two

writings? Sir, Both types of writing aim to persuade the
reader, whether it's to recognize the validity of
an argument (argumentative writing) or to
agree with a particular viewpoint (persuasive
writing).
Very good! It seems that you really understand our
discussion!

C.5 Aesthetic Discussion

No integration.

C.6 Generalization.

Class, why do we need to understand the differences

between Argumentative and persuasive writing?
Understanding the differences between
argumentative and persuasive writing is
crucial because it helps us tailor our approach
to communication based on the purpose and
audience, whether we're presenting logical
arguments or appealing to emotions and
values.

That’s right. Very good!

C.7 Application

General instruction: The class is divided into three

groups. Each group has the same type of activity. In
doing your activity, I will only give you 3 minutes to
finish your tasks and choose one representative to
explain your answer.
Direction: Using a venn diagram, compare and
contrast argumentative writing and persuasive
writing. Use bullet form.

Argumentative Similarities Persuasive

(The students do their activity)

C.8 Valuing

Class, if there's an issue, and of course, you don't

have to stay neutral, so you will use arguments to
support your sides, right? Now, how significant are
arguments in this scenario?
Sir, arguments matter because they let us
share different views, offer evidence, and back
up claims. They're key for expressing opinions,
back up by evidence having productive talks,
and possibly finding solutions.

You have a very good point! Thank you!
